Value Collection 32012320 Aluminum Rectangular Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012320 is a 6061 alloy aluminum rectangular bar intended for structural fabrication, framing, and general metalworking applications. Measuring 72 inches long by 2 inches wide by 5/16 inch thick, it offers a solid cross-section suited to light structural supports, brackets, and custom fittings. The 6061 alloy designation indicates good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for both shop and field work. At 4 pounds, the bar is manageable for a single technician. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inch. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

This bar is commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel support fabrication, plumbing system framing, and general trade shop projects. The 6061 temper profile performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments where moderate strength and resistance to oxidation are required. Fabricators, millwrights, and trade contractors will find this bar useful for custom bracket work, equipment bases, and structural reinforcement in light commercial and residential applications.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a metal-cutting blade or cold saw rated for aluminum. Deburr all cut edges before final installation to prevent injury and ensure flush mating surfaces. When welding or drilling, secure the bar in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Follow applicable local codes and job specifications for any structural use of aluminum bar stock.
