Value Collection 304 Stainless Steel Sheet 0.06x24x36 in 2B

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0003704-MSC 05988845 is a cold-rolled 304 stainless steel sheet measuring 0.06 inches thick, 24 inches wide, and 36 inches long. It carries a bright 2B finish, which is the standard mill finish produced by a final light cold-rolling pass on polished rolls. 304 stainless steel is an austenitic alloy offering strong corrosion resistance, good formability, and weldability. This sheet is suited for fabrication tasks requiring flat stock that can be cut, bent, or welded to size. Plumbers, HVAC fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly work with this material for custom ductwork, drain pans, flashing, and equipment enclosures.

This sheet is used across residential and commercial applications where corrosion-resistant flat stock is required. Typical uses include HVAC drain pan fabrication, plumbing trim and flashing, equipment mounting plates, and general sheet metal fabrication. The 24 by 36 inch format is a practical size for bench work and fits standard sheet metal brakes and shears used in trade shops. The 2B finish provides a smooth, moderately reflective surface that is easy to clean and suitable for food-adjacent or moisture-prone environments.

Key Features

• 304 austenitic stainless steel alloy with strong corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Cold-rolled bright 2B finish for a smooth, uniform surface
• 0.06 inch thickness suitable for light-gauge fabrication and forming
• 24 x 36 inch sheet size fits standard shop equipment
• Weldable and formable for custom fabrication tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat stock for HVAC, plumbing, and industrial fabrication applications requiring 304 stainless steel sheet in light-gauge thickness.

Installation Notes

Cut and form using standard sheet metal tools rated for stainless steel stock. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheared edges, as cold-rolled sheet can have sharp burrs. When welding 304 stainless, use appropriate filler material and follow AWS D1.6 guidelines for structural stainless applications. Deburr and clean all cut edges before installation in drain pan or ductwork assemblies to prevent injury and corrosion at cut surfaces.
