Value Collection 32004756 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004756 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 48 inches by 48 inches with a nominal thickness of 0.04 inches. It is produced from 5052-H32 aluminum alloy, a medium-strength, work-hardened grade known for good corrosion resistance and formability. This sheet is well suited for fabrication tasks that require a lightweight, weldable metal panel. HVAC sheet metal workers, plumbers, electricians, and general fabricators use material like this for ductwork patches, panel covers, flashing, backer plates, and custom enclosures. At 9 pounds per sheet, it is manageable for single-person handling on the job site or in the shop.

This sheet is a standard choice in light fabrication and mechanical trade work. It performs well in applications involving mild chemical exposure and moisture, which makes it a practical option for HVAC plenums, equipment enclosures, ventilation panels, and exterior flashing details. Its formability allows bending, shearing, and rolling without cracking at this thickness. The 48 by 48 inch format works directly with standard sheet metal brakes and shears without requiring additional cutting for many common panel sizes.

Key Features

• 5052-H32 alloy offers good corrosion resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
• 0.04 inch nominal thickness provides a balance of rigidity and ease of forming
• 48 inch by 48 inch sheet size works with standard shop equipment without pre-cutting
• Work-hardened H32 temper maintains shape after bending better than fully annealed stock
• Lightweight at 9 pounds per sheet for easy single-person handling
• Weldable and compatible with common aluminum joining methods

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat stock for use in HVAC fabrication, plumbing, electrical enclosure work, and light structural applications requiring a corrosion-resistant aluminum sheet.

Installation Notes

Cutting and forming should be performed by a qualified sheet metal worker or fabricator using appropriate tools such as a metal shear, brake, or jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling or cutting aluminum sheet, as edges are sharp. Deburr all cut edges before installation in any application involving airflow, fluid contact, or personnel access. Follow applicable local codes and trade standards when using this material in mechanical or electrical enclosures.
