Value Collection 32004798 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004798 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide at 0.05 inches thick, produced in Alloy 5052-H32. The 5052-H32 designation indicates a strain-hardened, partially annealed aluminum alloy known for good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and excellent formability. At 6 pounds per sheet, this material is well suited for fabrication work in HVAC, sheet metal, and general trade applications. Installers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in light-gauge metal fabrication will find this sheet ready for cutting, bending, and forming without additional treatment.

This aluminum sheet is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork fabrication, equipment enclosures, flashing, baffles, and repair panels. The 5052-H32 alloy performs well in moisture-prone environments, making it appropriate for applications where mild corrosion resistance is a requirement. The 48 inches by 24 inches format is a standard shop size that minimizes waste for typical trade-size cuts and layout work.

Key Features

• 5052-H32 alloy provides good corrosion resistance suitable for moisture-exposed environments
• 0.05 inches nominal thickness works with standard sheet metal brakes and snips
• 48 inches x 24 inches sheet size reduces waste on common trade-size layouts
• Strain-hardened temper (H32) offers improved strength over annealed stock while retaining formability
• Lightweight at 6 pounds per sheet for easy handling on the job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet for use in HVAC fabrication, sheet metal work, and light industrial applications requiring a 48 inches x 24 inches, 0.05-inch-thick 5052-H32 aluminum blank.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal fabricators and HVAC technicians working with this material should use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection when cutting or forming. Standard sheet metal tools including aviation snips, a sheet metal brake, and a deburring tool are appropriate for this gauge. Cut edges should be deburred before installation to prevent injury and to ensure proper mating with adjacent components. Follow applicable local codes and SMACNA guidelines when using aluminum sheet in duct or enclosure fabrication.
