Value Collection .313X.313X36 Steel Square Bar 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .313X.313X36 is a 1018 low-carbon steel square bar measuring 5/16 inches on each side and 36 inches in length. It is a solid, unfinished steel bar stock used in fabrication, repair, and custom part manufacturing across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades. The 1018 grade offers good machinability and weldability, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose shop work. The bar weighs approximately 1.01 pounds, keeping it manageable for bench work and field use. It ships as a single piece and is stocked for individual unit purchase.

This square bar stock is suited for light fabrication tasks including brackets, supports, braces, pins, and custom mechanical components. It works well in shop environments where a small-diameter, moderate-strength steel bar is needed for cutting, drilling, tapping, or welding. Trades that commonly use this stock include HVAC technicians fabricating mounting hardware, plumbers building custom supports, and electrical contractors constructing equipment anchors or standoffs. It is appropriate for both one-off repairs and small production runs.
