Value Collection 58330 A36 Steel Flat Stock 24x2.5x0.125 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58330 is an AISI Grade A36 low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches in length, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick. A36 is a structural-grade mild steel widely used in fabrication, repair welding, and general metalworking applications. At 2.38 pounds per piece, it offers a manageable stock size for benchtop and field work alike. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance trades rely on A36 flat stock for brackets, gussets, straps, supports, and custom component fabrication where close dimensional tolerances and consistent material properties are required.

This flat stock is suited for light structural and fabrication tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Common applications include HVAC equipment mounting brackets, equipment bases, ductwork support straps, conduit hangers, plumbing support hardware, and general-purpose repair stock. The controlled dimensional tolerances make it practical for applications where a precise fit is needed before welding, drilling, or mechanical fastening.

Key Features

• AISI Grade A36 low carbon steel — standard structural grade with predictable weld and machine characteristics
• Length tolerance of plus 0.062 inches ensures full usable length on every piece
• Width tolerance of plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches provides consistent width for close-fit applications
• Thickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise layup and stack work
• Single-piece packaging — no multi-pack commitment, order the exact quantity needed

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose A36 low carbon steel flat stock for use across fabrication, maintenance, and trade-installation applications where AISI A36 structural mild steel bar is specified.

Installation Notes

A36 flat stock is worked by qualified fabricators, millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance trades using standard metalworking tools including band saws, angle grinders, drill presses, and MIG or stick welding equipment. Always de-energize nearby electrical systems and shut off gas or fluid lines before cutting or welding in proximity to live systems. Follow applicable codes including AWS D1.1 for structural welding and OSHA 1910.212 for general machine guarding when cutting or grinding. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection during all cutting and forming operations.
