Value Collection 32004780 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004780 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches long by 24 inches wide at 0.05 inches thick, produced from alloy 5052-H32. Alloy 5052-H32 is a strain-hardened, partially annealed aluminum alloy known for good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and excellent formability. At 2.75 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight enough for single-person handling while offering structural integrity suitable for fabrication tasks. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal mechanics, and general trade contractors commonly use this material for ductwork patches, equipment panels, brackets, and custom enclosure work.

This aluminum sheet is suited for residential and light commercial fabrication applications where a workable, corrosion-resistant flat stock is required. Typical uses include HVAC duct repair panels, equipment access covers, custom flashing, and general sheet metal fabrication. The 24-inch square format minimizes waste for common small-to-medium panel cuts. The 5052-H32 temper allows bending and forming without cracking, making it compatible with standard sheet metal brakes and hand tools found in most trade shops.

Key Features

• Alloy 5052-H32 offers good corrosion resistance, well suited for humid or outdoor-adjacent environments
• 0.05 inch thickness provides a balance of flexibility and rigidity for forming and panel work
• 24 inch x 24 inch sheet size covers standard small panel and patch applications without excess trimming
• Strain-hardened H32 temper supports bending and forming on standard sheet metal equipment without fracturing
• Lightweight at 2.75 pounds, reducing handling fatigue on multi-piece fabrication jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum stock compatible with standard sheet metal fabrication processes including shearing, punching, bending, and riveting across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC fabricators are the primary trades working with this material. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection when cutting or forming aluminum sheet, as edges and chips are sharp. Cuts should be made with aviation snips, a nibbler, or a metal-cutting blade rated for non-ferrous material. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit against adjoining surfaces.
