Value Collection 58329 A36 Steel Flat Stock 1/8x2x24 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58329 is an AISI A36 low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches in length, 2 inches wide, and 1/8 inch thick. A36 is a structural-grade carbon steel specified by ASTM for its consistent mechanical properties and weldability, making it one of the most widely used mild steels in fabrication shops and maintenance environments. This flat stock ships as a single piece and is suited for general structural, fabrication, and repair work. At 1.93 pounds, it is a manageable piece for bench work or field use. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators who need a reliable, dimensionally consistent mild steel bar for welding, bolting, or machining will find this stock appropriate for a broad range of applications.

A36 flat stock at these dimensions is commonly used in HVAC equipment bases, plumbing support straps, electrical panel brackets, and general structural fabrication tasks. It is a staple in mechanical rooms, maintenance shops, and light manufacturing environments where a weldable, machinable mild steel bar is required. The 2-inch width and 1/8-inch thickness make it appropriate for bracket fabrication, strap reinforcements, and custom mounting plates. This piece is sold individually and is appropriate for both single-task field repairs and stock inventory in trade shops.

Key Features

• AISI A36 structural-grade low carbon steel with consistent weldability and machinability

• 1/8-inch thickness suitable for brackets, straps, and light structural applications
• 2-inch width provides a useful form factor for standard fabrication tasks without requiring additional ripping or cutting in most applications
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1 for job-specific purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose A36 low carbon steel flat bar for structural fabrication, repair, and custom component manufacturing across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of A36 mild steel should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable shop safety and building code requirements. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. When welding this material into structural assemblies, follow AWS D1.1 or the applicable structural welding code for the installation. Verify that any fabricated components meet local code requirements before installation in a mechanical or structural application.
