Value Collection .875X01.5X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .875X01.5X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.875 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface than hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited to machining, fabrication, and structural applications where dimensional accuracy matters. The 1018 grade offers good machinability, moderate strength, and consistent weldability. At 13.54 pounds, the bar is a manageable single-piece stock length for shop and field use. Tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication commonly use flat bar stock like this for brackets, supports, hangers, and framing components.

This flat bar is appropriate for light structural and mechanical fabrication in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include equipment mounting brackets, pipe and conduit supports, duct hangers, and custom framing. The 36-inch length makes it practical for bench cutting to shorter required dimensions. It is sold as a single piece and is handled by fabricators, millwrights, pipefitters, and HVAC sheet metal workers who need reliable mild steel stock with consistent surface finish.

Key Features

• 1018 grade mild steel offers good machinability and consistent weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled alternatives
• Smooth surface finish reduces secondary processing time before painting or coating
• 0.875 inches x 1.5 inches cross section suits common bracket and hanger fabrication tasks
• 36-inch length is easily cut to required shorter dimensions with standard shop equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mild steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, structural support, and mechanical applications where 1018 cold finished steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a band saw, cold saw, or angle grinder with an appropriate metal-cutting wheel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. Welding and drilling are performed according to standard shop practices for mild steel. Follow applicable local codes and structural requirements when using flat bar stock in load-bearing or support applications.
