Value Collection 32011876 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32011876 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy stock, measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 72 inches (6 feet) in length. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the rod has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, producing a material with strong machinability, good corrosion resistance, and reliable structural strength. This rod is a standard industrial raw stock item used by fabricators, machinists, and maintenance tradespeople for custom parts, structural supports, brackets, and repair components across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications. It ships as a single piece at a package quantity of one.

This round rod is suited for shop fabrication, job-site custom fitting, and maintenance repair operations where a medium-strength, readily machinable aluminum stock is required. Common applications include cutting to length for standoffs, shaft blanks, structural pins, and framing supports. The 6061-T6 alloy is widely specified in trade and light industrial settings where weight savings over steel and resistance to moisture-related corrosion are priorities. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot working stock, accommodating most standard cut-to-length fabrication tasks without additional splicing.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 alloy: solution heat-treated and artificially aged for improved strength and machinability
• 1.5-inch diameter provides substantial cross-sectional stock for structural and mechanical applications
Full 72-inch (6-foot) length minimizes offcuts for most standard fabrication tasks
• Aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel rod
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches per manufacturer specification
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order above one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw aluminum stock rod compatible with standard machining, cutting, drilling, and threading operations performed on 6061-T6 aluminum alloy material.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or experienced tradespeople using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or chuck before cutting to prevent movement. Deburr all cut ends before handling or fitting to avoid injury and to ensure proper fit in assemblies. Consult applicable trade and facility safety codes when incorporating raw stock into structural or load-bearing applications.
