Value Collection .625X01.25X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .625X01.25X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar cut to 72 inches in length. Cold finishing produces a tighter dimensional tolerance, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled equivalents. At 0.625 inches thick and 1.25 inches wide, this bar is well suited for fabrication tasks that require consistent cross-section and clean edges. It weighs approximately 16.03 pounds per piece. Licensed tradespeople, millwrights, and fabricators working in HVAC equipment framing, plumbing support structures, and general mechanical applications regularly stock this profile for brackets, straps, and structural reinforcements.

This flat bar is a general-purpose cold finished section appropriate for light structural, support, and fabrication work in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include equipment mounting brackets, conduit supports, custom hangers, and mechanical room strapping. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot workpiece that can be cut to project-specific dimensions on site. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

Installation Notes

Cutting should be performed with appropriate metal-cutting equipment such as a cold saw, band saw, or angle grinder with a metal-cutting disc. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when working with steel bar stock. Welding, drilling, or tapping operations should follow standard shop practices and applicable code requirements for the installation environment. Deburr all cut edges before final assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
