Value Collection .375X01.25X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .375X01.25X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar sized at 0.375 inches thick, 1.25 inches wide, and 72 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smooth, clean surface with tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled bar, making this stock well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where surface quality and dimensional accuracy matter. At 9.62 pounds per bar, it offers a practical balance of mass and workability for trade and shop use. This bar is a standard single-piece unit with no minimum order quantity beyond one bar.

This 1018 cold finished flat bar is appropriate for a wide range of commercial and industrial fabrication scenarios, including brackets, supports, frames, shafts, and general structural components. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing and mechanical room support structures, electrical enclosure framing, and general metalworking applications. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot stick, which is a common stock length for shop cutting and custom fabrication work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-stock 1018 cold finished flat bar for general fabrication and structural support applications across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

This steel bar is cut and fabricated by machinists, ironworkers, and trade mechanics using standard shop tools including band saws, cold saws, angle grinders, and drill presses. Always de-burr cut edges before handling or assembly. Follow applicable local codes and structural requirements when using this bar as a load-bearing support component. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during cutting and grinding operations.
