Value Collection 32012429 Aluminum Bar 6061 72x3x0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012429 is an aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, measuring 72 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy widely used in structural, fabrication, and general machining applications. It offers good corrosion resistance, moderate-to-high strength, and excellent machinability. The bar weighs approximately 11 pounds and carries a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. It is a standard stock-length bar suitable for cutting to size on the job or in a shop environment. HVAC fabricators, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors use flat aluminum bar stock for brackets, supports, spacers, and custom structural components.

This bar is suited for light structural framing, equipment mounting brackets, panel supports, and fabrication tasks in both residential and commercial trade settings. Its 6-foot length makes it practical for most bench and field cuts. The 3-inch width and 0.5-inch thickness give it enough cross-section for moderate load-bearing brackets and standoff applications without excessive weight. Sold individually as a single piece per package.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is cut and shaped by machinists, fabricators, or trade professionals using standard metalworking tools including band saws, cold saws, and drill presses. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or drilling aluminum. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure clean fit. Fastener hole sizing and load calculations should follow applicable structural or mechanical codes for the specific application.
