Value Collection 32012247 Aluminum Rectangular Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012247 is an aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, a widely used structural aluminum alloy valued for its strength-to-weight ratio and machinability. This bar measures 72 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3/16 inch thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inch. Weighing approximately 4 pounds, it is suited for fabrication, structural framing, and general metalworking applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople commonly work with this profile when building brackets, supports, enclosures, or custom components that require a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal stock.

Alloy 6061 aluminum rectangular bar stock is a standard material in light industrial fabrication, HVAC equipment framing, electrical enclosure construction, and general mechanical assembly. The flat rectangular profile allows for straightforward cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding without specialized equipment. This bar is well-suited for both shop and field fabrication tasks where a consistent cross-section and predictable material properties are required. It ships as a single piece and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum construction offers good corrosion resistance and solid machinability
• Rectangular profile at 3 inches wide by 3/16 inch thick suits flat bracket and structural applications
• 72-inch length provides full 6-foot stock for cutting to size on-site or in-shop
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inch consistent with standard bar stock
• Lightweight at approximately 4 pounds, making it easy to handle and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum bar stock suitable for fabrication, maintenance, and repair work across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light structural applications where 6061 aluminum flat bar is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and shaping should be performed with tooling rated for aluminum alloys. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding aluminum bar stock. Deburr all cut edges before assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. Follow applicable local codes and engineering specifications when using this material in structural or load-bearing applications.
