Value Collection .125X.375X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .125X.375X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar used in fabrication, maintenance, and light structural applications. Measuring 0.125 inches thick, 0.375 inches wide, and 72 inches long (6 feet), this bar stock is drawn to tight dimensional tolerances characteristic of the cold finishing process. The 1018 carbon steel specification provides good machinability, consistent surface finish, and moderate strength, making it a reliable choice for shop work, brackets, spacers, straps, and general metalworking tasks. Machinists, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance trades commonly keep this bar stock on hand for custom fabrication and repair work.

This flat bar is suited for residential and commercial maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and field service environments where a small-profile steel stock is needed. At 0.125 inches thick and 0.375 inches wide, the bar cuts and drills easily with standard hand or machine tools. The 72-inch length allows cutting to custom lengths without excessive waste. It is appropriate for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support brackets, as well as general industrial and mechanical applications where a lightweight, machinable steel strip is required.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping should be performed with tools rated for carbon steel stock. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when cutting, grinding, or drilling. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low-carbon steel.
