Value Collection 06180640 Aluminum Strip Alloy 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06180640 is a flat aluminum strip cut from Alloy 6061 stock, measuring 72 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, general-purpose aluminum alloy known for good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. At 2.7 pounds per piece, this strip is suited for fabrication, structural framing, repair work, and custom bracket or enclosure projects. It machines, drills, and welds with standard aluminum tooling and techniques. Trade professionals working in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general mechanical applications will find this strip useful wherever a lightweight, corrosion-resistant flat bar is needed.

This aluminum strip is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications. Typical uses include fabrication of mounting brackets, equipment supports, spacers, trim channels, and structural ties. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance matters. The 72-inch length provides flexibility for cutting to custom dimensions on the job. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors regularly work with flat bar stock of this profile for custom fabrication tasks in both residential and commercial settings.

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum bar suitable for custom fabrication, repair, and structural support applications across trade disciplines. No specific equipment compatibility is defined for this raw material stock.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a metal-cutting blade, band saw, or chop saw rated for non-ferrous metals. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury and ensure clean fitment. Use appropriate fasteners rated for aluminum to avoid galvanic corrosion when joining to dissimilar metals. Follow applicable local building or mechanical codes when incorporating aluminum bar stock into structural or support assemblies.
