Value Collection .25X.75X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .25X.75X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.25 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled stock, making this bar suitable for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where consistent sizing matters. The 1018 grade offers good machinability and moderate strength, and it accepts welding, drilling, and threading without special pretreatment in most shop conditions. At 1.94 pounds, this single-length bar is a practical choice for small-run fabrication or repair work.

This bar is used in general metalworking and light fabrication environments, including HVAC equipment fabrication, mechanical support structures, brackets, straps, and custom mounting hardware. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by pipefitters, millwrights, HVAC installers, and general fabricators who need a short, accurately dimensioned steel flat bar. The 36-inch length allows single-piece use or cutting to shorter segments as the job requires.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding operations should be performed by qualified personnel following applicable shop safety practices and relevant codes such as AWS welding standards where joints are structural. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Deburr cut edges before handling or fitting into assemblies to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
