Value Collection 91089821 Aluminum Sheet Alloy 5086

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 91089821 is a flat aluminum sheet cut to 24 inches long by 24 inches wide with a thickness of 0.125 inches (1/8 inch), manufactured from Alloy 5086 aluminum. Alloy 5086 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy known for its good corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and industrial environments. The sheet weighs approximately 8 pounds and is suited for fabrication, repair, and structural applications where a workable, weldable aluminum material is required. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general contractors commonly use flat aluminum stock in ductwork modifications, flashing, baffles, and custom component fabrication.

This sheet is appropriate for both residential and commercial applications where lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal stock is needed. Typical uses include custom duct transitions, equipment mounting plates, splash guards, marine component fabrication, and general sheet metal repair work. At 24 inches by 24 inches, it provides a full square foot of workable surface area suitable for most standard fabrication layouts without additional trimming.

Key Features

• Alloy 5086 aluminum offers strong resistance to corrosion in saltwater and industrial environments
• 1/8 inch thickness provides structural rigidity while remaining cuttable with standard sheet metal tools
• 24 inches x 24 inches flat sheet format ready for layout and fabrication
• Weldable and formable using standard aluminum metalworking techniques
• Weighs 8 pounds, making it manageable for single-person handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat aluminum sheet for fabrication and repair applications across HVAC, plumbing, marine, and industrial trades where Alloy 5086 aluminum stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Always wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting or drilling aluminum sheet stock. Use carbide-tipped blades or aluminum-rated saw blades and deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fitment. Consult applicable codes such as the SMACNA standards for duct fabrication or NEC guidelines when using sheet metal in electrical enclosure applications. Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in wet environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
