Value Collection 32004715 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004715 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 12 inches by 12 inches with a thickness of 0.04 inches, manufactured from alloy 5052-H32. Alloy 5052-H32 is a strain-hardened, partially annealed aluminum grade known for good corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. This sheet weighs approximately 1 pound, making it easy to handle and cut on the job. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general tradespeople use this material for ductwork patches, flashing, baffles, brackets, and other light-gauge fabrication tasks that call for a corrosion-resistant, workable aluminum stock.

This aluminum sheet is suited for both residential and light commercial trade applications. Common uses include HVAC duct patching, equipment panels, drain pans, protective shielding, and custom fabrication where a flat, pre-sized aluminum blank reduces layout and cutting time. The 12-inch square format works well for small patch jobs or as raw stock for custom-bent components. Its 5052-H32 alloy designation makes it a reliable choice for applications exposed to moisture or mild chemical environments, such as rooftop equipment surrounds or plumbing chase covers.

Key Features

• Alloy 5052-H32 provides strong corrosion resistance in moisture-heavy environments
• 0.04 inches thickness offers a balance of rigidity and formability for hand-bending or brake work
• Pre-cut 12 inches x 12 inches format reduces material waste on small fabrication jobs
• Lightweight at approximately 1 pound for easy transport and on-site handling
• Weldable and compatible with standard aluminum soldering and riveting techniques

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet for trade fabrication tasks requiring a corrosion-resistant, light-gauge aluminum stock in a 12-inch square format.

Installation Notes

Cut and fabricate using standard sheet metal tools including aviation snips, a metal-cutting blade, or a sheet metal brake. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure proper fit against mating surfaces. When using this sheet as a patch or flashing in HVAC or plumbing applications, secure with appropriate fasteners or sealants rated for aluminum contact. Follow applicable local codes, including SMACNA guidelines for ductwork fabrication where relevant.
