Value Collection 09425117 Aluminum Sheet 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09425117 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches long by 24 inches wide at 0.032 inches thick, produced from 6061-T6 alloy. This sheet is suited for fabrication, repair, and custom metalwork tasks where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is required. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the alloy has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, giving it a good balance of strength and workability. At 1.84 pounds, it is easy to handle and transport on the job site. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general contractors commonly use this alloy for ductwork repairs, flashing, brackets, and custom fittings.

This aluminum sheet is appropriate for light structural and non-structural applications in both residential and commercial settings. Its 24 inch by 24 inch dimensions make it a practical stock size for field fabrication tasks such as custom transitions, patch panels, equipment pads, drain pans, and splash guards. The 0.032 inch gauge is thin enough to cut and bend with standard sheet metal tools, making it a common choice for technicians who fabricate parts in the field or shop.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 alloy provides good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance

• 24 inch x 24 inch sheet offers a full square foot of usable material with minimal waste for common fabrication cuts
• Weighs 1.84 pounds for easy single-person handling
• Heat-treated T6 temper improves machinability compared to annealed aluminum

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum stock suitable for field fabrication and shop use across HVAC, plumbing, and light construction trades.

Installation Notes

Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges, as cut aluminum edges can be sharp. Use aviation snips, a nibbler, or a metal-blade circular saw for straight cuts; a sheet metal brake or hand seamer is appropriate for bending to angle. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent material damage and injury. Follow applicable local mechanical and building codes when using fabricated aluminum components in system assemblies.
