Value Collection 316 Stainless Steel Sheet 0.075x12x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0006592-MSC 32004566 is a 316 stainless steel sheet cut to 12 inches wide by 12 inches long at 0.075 inches thick. Alloy grade 316 provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless, making it well suited for environments exposed to chlorides, saltwater, or chemical washdown. At 3.06 pounds, this flat sheet is a stock material used by fabricators, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople for patch work, brackets, shields, and custom fabricated components. The 12-inch square format is a common shop-stock size that cuts and forms without specialized equipment.

This sheet is appropriate for use in plumbing and HVAC fabrication, marine environments, food service installations, and chemical processing applications where standard carbon steel or 304 stainless would corrode prematurely. Its flat, mill-finish surface is ready for layout, cutting, drilling, or forming. Tradespeople and fabricators working in commercial kitchens, pool equipment enclosures, or coastal HVAC installations will find this gauge and alloy combination practical for field repairs and custom bracket fabrication.

Key Features

• Alloy grade 316 stainless steel for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance
• 0.075 inches thick — a moderate gauge suitable for brackets, shields, and patch panels
• 12 inches x 12 inches square format for versatile shop or field use
• Single-piece packaging — no minimum bundle requirement
• 3.06 pounds — lightweight enough for single-person handling and layout

Compatibility

General-purpose flat stock compatible with standard metal fabrication workflows. Suitable for use as raw material in HVAC, plumbing, pool, and industrial applications requiring 316 stainless alloy sheet.

Installation Notes

Cutting and forming of stainless steel sheet should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate tools for stainless alloys, including carbide-tipped cutting blades or plasma cutting equipment. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet edges, as cut stainless can be extremely sharp. If welding, use filler rod and procedures rated for 316 stainless to maintain corrosion resistance at weld joints. Deburr and passivate cut edges when the finished component will be exposed to corrosive environments.
