Value Collection 32011850 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32011850 is a 6061-T6 aluminum round rod measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 72 inches (6 feet) in length. Alloy 6061-T6 is a heat-treated, precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy known for its good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. This rod is a general-purpose stock material used in fabrication, structural framing, and mechanical component manufacturing. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians cut, drill, and turn this rod to produce shafts, pins, standoffs, and structural supports. At 8.44 pounds per piece, it offers a practical combination of strength and workability for a wide range of shop and field applications.

This aluminum round rod is suited for light structural, mechanical, and general fabrication work in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. Typical applications include custom bracket fabrication, shaft stock, guide rods, and architectural or structural assemblies where corrosion resistance and moderate strength are required. It is commonly used by HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and electricians for mounting hardware, custom supports, and miscellaneous mechanical components. The 72-inch length provides adequate stock for multiple cuts from a single piece.

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose 6061-T6 aluminum round rod stock suitable for use in fabrication, machining, and structural support applications across trade and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a band saw, cold saw, or miter saw rated for non-ferrous metals. Use appropriate cutting fluid when machining to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installation to prevent injury. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting or drilling to avoid movement and ensure dimensional accuracy.
