Value Collection 32004665 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004665 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 12 inches by 12 inches with a thickness of 0.032 inches, supplied in Alloy 5052-H32 temper. This alloy is known for its good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and excellent formability, making it well-suited for applications that require bending, shaping, or welding without significant cracking or splitting. The sheet weighs approximately 0.44 pounds. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general trade professionals use this material for ductwork patches, flashing, backing plates, and other light-gauge metal fabrication tasks.

This aluminum sheet is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications. It works well in environments where corrosion resistance is needed, such as near moisture, coastal areas, or chemical exposure. The 5052-H32 alloy is a common choice for HVAC sheet metal repairs, small enclosure panels, drain pans, and custom brackets. Its flat, un-punched surface allows the installer to cut, drill, and form it to fit the specific job at hand.

Key Features

• 5052-H32 alloy offers good corrosion resistance and moderate tensile strength
• 0.032-inch thickness is suitable for light bending and forming without annealing
• 12 x 12 inch flat sheet requires no additional shearing for small patch or bracket work
• Lightweight at approximately 0.44 pounds for easy handling on the job
• Uncoated aluminum surface accepts paint, adhesive, or sealant as needed

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet for use in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC repair, plumbing, and light construction applications where 5052-H32 alloy and 0.032-inch gauge material are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians typically cut and form this material using aviation snips, a nibbler, or a brake. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheared edges. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure proper fitment against mating surfaces. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines when using aluminum sheet for ductwork or structural applications.
