Value Collection 58314 A36 Steel Flat Stock 24x2x3/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58314 is a low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 3/32 inch thick, produced to AISI material specification A36. A36 is a structural-grade mild steel widely used in fabrication, welding, and light structural applications where moderate strength and good machinability are priorities. This flat stock ships as a single piece and weighs 1.45 pounds. Length tolerance is plus 0.062 inch, width tolerance is plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inch, and both thickness and squareness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inch, making it suitable for close-fit fabricated assemblies.

This flat stock is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing support brackets, electrical panel frames, general metalworking, and maintenance repair operations. It is well suited for welding, drilling, cutting, and bending without special pre-treatment. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in commercial and light industrial environments regularly stock A36 flat bar for on-demand bracket and strap fabrication.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard A36 low carbon steel flat bar suitable for general fabrication, structural repair, and support applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping should be performed with appropriate metalworking tools including angle grinders, cold saws, or band saws rated for mild steel. Welding should follow standard MIG or stick procedures for A36 material with no preheat required at this thickness. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before installation in any assembly.
