Value Collection 09425596 Aluminum Sheet 2024-T3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09425596 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches by 24 inches with a nominal thickness of 0.032 inches, produced from Alloy 2024-T3 aluminum. The 2024-T3 designation indicates a high-strength, heat-treated alloy with good fatigue resistance, making it a common choice in structural fabrication, ductwork reinforcement, flashing, and light panel applications. At 1.84 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight and easy to handle on the job site. Licensed sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, and general contractors typically work with this material when precise, thin-gauge aluminum stock is required.

This sheet is suited for residential and commercial applications where a rigid, corrosion-resistant aluminum panel is needed. Common uses include custom HVAC duct patches, access panel fabrication, flashing details, and general metalwork requiring a flat, square starting blank. The 24-inch by 24-inch format provides a full square foot of workable material that can be cut, drilled, bent, or riveted to specification on site or in a shop environment.

Key Features

• Alloy 2024-T3 offers higher tensile strength and fatigue resistance compared to common 3003 or 5052 series sheets
• Nominal thickness of 0.032 inches provides a rigid yet workable gauge suitable for light structural and enclosure applications
• 24 inches x 24 inches format delivers a full square blank ready for field or shop fabrication
• Lightweight at 1.84 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation or transport
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet blank compatible with standard sheet metal fabrication processes including shearing, bending, drilling, and riveting. No specific OEM system fitment applies to this stock material.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal workers and HVAC fabricators should use appropriate tin snips, nibblers, or a shear rated for aluminum when cutting this sheet to size. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper mating with adjacent surfaces. When used in HVAC or mechanical enclosure applications, verify that all fasteners and mating materials are compatible with aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion. Always follow applicable local codes and SMACNA standards when incorporating sheet metal components into duct or mechanical systems.
