Value Collection 09425174 Aluminum Sheet 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09425174 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches long by 24 inches wide with a thickness of 0.04 inches. Fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this sheet offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for structural and general fabrication applications. At 2.3 pounds, it handles easily for cutting, drilling, or bending on the shop floor or in the field. HVAC fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople use this format for duct patches, backing plates, brackets, flashing, and custom fit-up components.

This aluminum sheet is suited for light fabrication work in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include custom duct covers, equipment mounting plates, electrical enclosure panels, and general sheet-metal repair work. The 6061-T6 temper provides good machinability and weldability, so the sheet can be cut with standard sheet-metal shears, a jigsaw, or a circular saw fitted with a non-ferrous blade and then formed or welded as needed on the job site or in the shop.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 alloy temper for improved strength and corrosion resistance compared to softer aluminum grades
• 24 inches x 24 inches flat sheet format ready for field cutting or shop fabrication
• 0.04 inches nominal thickness suitable for light-duty panels, patches, and covers
• Lightweight at 2.3 pounds for easy handling and transport
• Machinable and weldable alloy compatible with standard shop and field processes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet for trade fabrication use where a 24 inches x 24 inches, 0.04-inch-thick 6061-T6 aluminum sheet is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut with sheet-metal shears, a non-ferrous circular saw blade, or a jigsaw fitted with a fine-tooth metal blade. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure clean fits against adjacent surfaces. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection when cutting or forming. Confirm local mechanical and building codes for material and fastener requirements before installing in structural or electrical applications.
