Value Collection 32012528 Aluminum Bar 72x2x0.75 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012528 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar cut to 72 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, general-purpose aluminum alloy known for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. This bar stock is suited for fabrication, structural framing, brackets, and machined components across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade applications. The bar weighs approximately 11 pounds and ships as a single piece. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches. Tradespeople and fabricators working with aluminum stock will find this size useful for a wide range of field and shop applications.

This rectangular bar is appropriate for both shop fabrication and job-site use. Common applications include equipment mounting brackets, structural supports, frame members, and custom fittings. The 6061 alloy responds well to standard cutting, drilling, and welding operations, making it practical for HVAC equipment supports, electrical panel strut work, plumbing hangers, and light structural framing. The 6-foot length accommodates most standard fabrication tasks without requiring initial resizing.

Compatibility

General-purpose 6061 aluminum rectangular bar stock suitable for fabrication, structural support, and custom component work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Cut, drill, and shape using standard aluminum-rated tooling — carbide or high-speed steel bits are appropriate. Deburr all cut edges before handling or final assembly to avoid injury and ensure proper fit. Follow applicable local codes and structural load requirements when using bar stock in load-bearing or equipment-support applications. Wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection and gloves, during all cutting and grinding operations.
