Value Collection 32004871 Aluminum Sheet 5052-H32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32004871 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches long by 12 inches wide at 0.125 inches thick, produced in Alloy 5052-H32. Alloy 5052-H32 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy in the strain-hardened and stabilized temper, known for solid corrosion resistance, good formability, and moderate strength. It is widely used in HVAC fabrication, ductwork patching, flashing, panel repair, and general sheet-metal trade work. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet-metal workers regularly stock this alloy for field fabrication tasks where weldability and corrosion performance matter.

This sheet is suited for both shop and field applications in residential and light commercial settings. Common uses include fabricating custom flanges, duct patches, backing plates, access panel covers, and protective flashing. The 24 x 12 inch size is a practical stock dimension for most bench-cut or snip-cut trade jobs. Its 0.125 inch gauge provides enough rigidity for structural panel work while remaining workable with standard sheet-metal hand tools and brakes.

Key Features

• Alloy 5052-H32 offers above-average corrosion resistance, including in marine and moisture-exposed environments
• 0.125 inch thickness provides structural rigidity while remaining formable with standard sheet-metal tooling
• 24 x 12 inch dimensions suit common field-cut and bench-cut trade applications
• Strain-hardened H32 temper delivers consistent mechanical properties across the sheet
• Weldable and compatible with MIG and TIG processes, supporting fabrication and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum sheet for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and sheet-metal fabrication applications where Alloy 5052-H32 material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut using aviation snips, a sheet-metal shear, or a circular saw with a non-ferrous blade. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure flush seating against mating surfaces. When welding, clean the sheet surface of any oxide layer with a stainless-steel brush prior to running a bead. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines or local mechanical codes when using this sheet in ductwork or enclosure fabrication.
