Value Collection 78691284 Aluminum Strip 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 78691284 is a flat aluminum strip cut from 6061 alloy stock. It measures 24 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick, making it a versatile piece of structural aluminum suitable for fabrication, repair, and general metalworking tasks. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, medium-to-high-strength aluminum alloy known for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. The strip weighs approximately 0.9 pounds. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals keep this alloy on hand for brackets, gussets, support plates, and other light structural applications.

This aluminum strip is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure modifications, and general shop or field fabrication work. The flat bar profile suits applications where a broad, thin section is needed for shimming, spanning, or reinforcing. Its size and weight make it easy to transport to a job site and cut to final dimension with standard metalworking tools.

Installation Notes

Cut and drill using carbide-tipped or high-speed steel tooling appropriate for aluminum stock. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure flush fitment. When welding 6061 aluminum, use the filler alloy specified by your applicable welding procedure or code. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding.
