National Mfg N179-937 Solid Galvanized Angle 1x48

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N179-937 is a solid galvanized steel angle designed to provide rigid structural support in construction and repair applications. Measuring 1 inch by 48 inches, this angle stock can be drilled on-site to accept fasteners, making it adaptable to a wide range of framing, bracing, and mounting tasks. The galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance for use in environments where bare steel would be prone to rust. This part ships in a package quantity of 2 and is handled by contractors, tradespeople, and skilled DIYers who need dependable metal support stock.

This galvanized angle is suited for residential and light commercial construction projects, structural repairs, custom brackets, equipment mounting support, and general fabrication work where a strong, corrosion-resistant metal angle is required. Its drillable steel construction allows field modification without specialized tooling. Note that welding is not recommended due to the galvanized coating, which releases harmful fumes when heated and may compromise the zinc layer at the weld zone.

Key Features

• Solid steel construction provides rigid load-bearing support for construction and repair tasks
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion for extended service life in humid or exposed environments
• Drillable for on-site customization without specialized equipment
• Not recommended for welding due to galvanization — zinc coating degrades under welding heat
• Sold in a package quantity of 2 pieces

Compatibility

Designed for general construction and repair applications where a solid galvanized angle is required for structural support, bracing, or mounting tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance tradespeople using standard drill bits rated for steel. Secure all fasteners per applicable local building codes and load requirements. Do not weld this angle stock, as heating the galvanized surface releases zinc oxide fumes and compromises the protective coating. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or drilling galvanized steel.
