Value Collection 08663882 Aluminum Square Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08663882 is a solid aluminum square bar measuring 2-3/4 inches square by 12 inches long, machined from Alloy 6061 stock. This bar is a general-purpose extruded aluminum shape suited for fabrication, structural support, framing, and custom machining applications. The 6061 alloy offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio and resists corrosion in most shop and field environments. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.25 inches, which is typical for cut stock. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial settings commonly use this material for brackets, standoffs, spacers, and custom-fit components.

This aluminum square bar is used in light fabrication, equipment mounting, and custom part production across residential and commercial trade applications. Its 12-inch length makes it practical for single-piece cuts or short-run fabrication without excess waste. The 6061 alloy is weldable and accepts standard machining operations including drilling, milling, and tapping. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use where moderate corrosion resistance is required. Trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical disciplines use 6061 aluminum bar stock when a lightweight, machinable, and structurally sound material is needed for custom brackets or support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Fabricators and machinists should use appropriate cutting tools rated for non-ferrous metals when sizing or shaping this bar. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. When welding 6061 aluminum, use filler alloys appropriate for the base material and follow applicable AWS D1.2 structural welding guidelines. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during cutting and machining operations.
