Value Collection 32011769 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32011769 is a 6061-T6 aluminum round rod designed for general fabrication, machining, and structural repair applications across trades and industrial settings. Measuring 5/16 inch in diameter and 72 inches in length, this rod is drawn from Alloy 6061-T6, a heat-treated aluminum alloy known for its good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. It is well suited for use in HVAC brackets, plumbing supports, electrical panel fabrication, and light structural assemblies. Machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals handling custom component work will find this rod a reliable stock material for cutting, drilling, and threading.

This aluminum round rod is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal stock is needed. Common uses include fabricating mounting hardware, standoffs, support rods, pins, and spacers in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations. The 72-inch length provides enough material for multiple cuts from a single piece, reducing waste on standard fabrication tasks. It ships as a single rod per package with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum for solid strength and corrosion resistance
• 5/16 inch diameter suited for pins, rods, standoffs, and light structural members
• 72 inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches
• Lightweight stock at 0.53 pounds per rod, easy to handle and cut on the job
• Machinable and weldable — accepts threading, drilling, and standard metal fabrication operations
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod stock suitable for fabrication tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light industrial applications wherever 6061-T6 aluminum rod in a 5/16 inch diameter is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a metal-rated saw or tubing cutter appropriate for aluminum stock. Deburr cut ends before use in any assembly to prevent damage to mating components or injury during handling. When welding 6061-T6 aluminum, use procedures appropriate for heat-treated alloys, as the heat-affected zone may experience reduced strength. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during all cutting and machining operations.
