Pricing is subject to change. In-store pricing may vary from online pricing.
Description
6061-T6 extruded Aluminum association channel is an excellent candidate for most processing techniques and both interior and exterior applications. Association channels have defined edges on the outside and a tampered edge on the inside where the channel legs meet at the base making the legs thickness uniform. Common applications include trailers, walkways, ramps and structural support. It’s lightweight, corrosion resistant, and an excellent choice wherever strength is required.
Features
