Value Collection .125X03.0X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .125X03.0X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.125 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 72 inches long (6 feet). Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled stock. The 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good machinability and weldability, making it a practical choice for fabrication, framing, bracketing, and general structural applications. This bar ships as a single piece and is used by fabricators, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and contractors who need a reliable, ready-to-cut steel flat.

This flat bar suits a wide range of light structural and fabrication uses in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include support brackets, frame members, mounting plates, strapping, and reinforcement in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations. Its 6-foot length allows for single-cut or multi-cut use on most standard projects. The cold finished surface reduces the need for additional machining or grinding before use.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. Follow applicable local building codes and OSHA standards when using steel bar stock in structural or support applications. Store horizontally on a flat surface to maintain straightness prior to use.
