Value Collection BH01.5X12 Steel Hex Bar 1.5x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BH01.5X12 is a cold-finish steel hexagon bar measuring 1.5 inches width across flats and 12 inches in overall length. Manufactured to material grade 1018, this hex bar offers a consistent cross-section and reliable machinability for precision applications. At 6.8 pounds, it provides substantial mass for its size and suits stock removal, turning, milling, and general fabrication work. HVAC, plumbing, and industrial tradespeople commonly keep hex bar stock on hand for fabricating fasteners, standoffs, valve stems, and custom hardware components in the shop or field.

This 1018 steel hexagon bar is suited for light to medium fabrication tasks where weldability and machinability are priorities. Grade 1018 is a low-carbon steel, making it a practical choice for parts that require forming, threading, or welding without the complexity of higher-alloy stock. It is commonly used in maintenance shops, mechanical contracting environments, and light manufacturing settings where standard bar stock is cut to length and machined to finished dimensions.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade for reliable machinability and weldability
• 1.5 inches width across flats for consistent hexagonal cross-section
• 12 inches overall length provides ready-to-machine stock
• 6.8 pounds weight reflects solid, full-length steel construction
• Uniform hex profile suits threading, turning, and milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel hex bar stock suitable for fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications where 1018-grade low-carbon steel bar is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining steel hex bar stock should be performed by qualified fabricators or machinists using appropriate cutting tools, lubricants, and personal protective equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or chuck before any cutting, drilling, or threading operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating 1018 steel.
