Value Collection 32012395 Aluminum Bar 6061 72x1x0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012395 is an aluminum rectangular bar machined from 6061 alloy, a widely used structural aluminum grade known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. The bar measures 72 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.5 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. Weighing approximately 3 pounds, it is suited for fabrication, structural framing, mounting brackets, and general metalworking tasks. Trade professionals including HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and electricians use flat bar stock like this for custom brackets, supports, and structural components in both residential and commercial installations.

This bar is appropriate for shop fabrication, field modification work, and light structural applications where a weldable, machinable aluminum flat stock is required. Its 6061 alloy composition supports welding, drilling, tapping, and cutting with standard metalworking tools. It fits common bench and floor applications where a full 6-foot length of flat aluminum stock is needed in a single piece.
