Value Collection 32004848 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004848 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide at 0.08 inches thick, produced from Alloy 5052-H32. This alloy designation indicates a strain-hardened, partially annealed temper that delivers a reliable balance of formability and corrosion resistance. The sheet suits fabrication tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet-metal work where a lightweight, workable aluminum stock is required. Technicians and fabricators use this material for ductwork patches, enclosure panels, flashing, and custom brackets. At 9 pounds per sheet, it is manageable for single-person handling on most job sites.

This sheet is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications. Common use cases include HVAC duct fabrication and patching, electrical panel backing, plumbing chase covers, and general metal fabrication where corrosion resistance and ease of forming are priorities. The 5052-H32 alloy is a standard choice in marine, HVAC, and architectural sheet-metal trades due to its weldability and resistance to saltwater and industrial atmospheres.

Key Features

• Alloy 5052-H32 temper provides good formability with moderate strength
• Dimensions of 48 inches x 24 inches offer a full usable surface for cutting and fabrication
• 0.08 inches thickness works with standard sheet-metal shears, nibblers, and brakes
• Corrosion-resistant alloy suited for moisture-prone and outdoor environments
• At 9 pounds, the sheet is suitable for single-person handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat stock for sheet-metal fabrication tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light structural applications where 5052-H32 aluminum is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet-metal fabricators and HVAC technicians typically cut, bend, and fasten this material using standard sheet-metal tools including shears, brakes, and pop-rivet guns. Always wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet edges. Follow applicable local codes and SMACNA standards when using aluminum sheet in duct or enclosure fabrication. Deburr all cut edges before final assembly to prevent material damage and injury.
