Value Collection BB01.25X72 Steel Round Rod 1-1/4 in 72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB01.25X72 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod designed for general fabrication, machining, and structural applications. Measuring 1.25 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length, this rod is produced with a cold finish that delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot-rolled alternatives. The 1018 grade designation indicates a low carbon content that provides good weldability and machinability, making it a dependable choice for shops and trades professionals who need reliable stock material. At 26 pounds per piece, it is a substantial bar suitable for lathe work, bending, threading, and custom part fabrication.

This round rod is suited for a wide range of industrial and trade applications including machine shops, welding fabrication, HVAC support structures, electrical conduit hangers, and general construction hardware. Its cold-finish surface makes it ready for immediate use in applications where surface smoothness and close tolerances matter. Mill heat treatment is applied during production, leaving the rod in its as-milled condition. It is appropriate for both light structural use and precision machining environments where 1018 low carbon steel is the specified material.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade for reliable weldability and machinability
• Cold finish provides tighter tolerances and smoother surface than hot-rolled equivalents
• 1.25 inch diameter by 72 inch length for versatile stock use
• Mill heat treatment, as-produced condition with no additional thermal processing
• 26 pounds per bar, solid cross-section suitable for threading, turning, and bending

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 low carbon steel round rod suitable for fabrication, machining, and structural support applications where cold-finished steel bar stock of this grade and diameter is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting, welding, and machining of steel round rod should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Secure the workpiece properly in a vise or lathe chuck before cutting or turning operations. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and local codes when incorporating steel bar stock into structural or mechanical assemblies. Inspect the rod for surface defects before use in precision applications.
