National Mfg N179-945 Solid Galvanized Angle 1x72 Inch

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N179-945 is a solid galvanized steel angle designed for structural support in construction and repair applications. Measuring 1 inch by 72 inches, this angle provides a rigid, load-bearing profile suitable for framing, bracing, and general fastening tasks. The hot-dip galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments. The steel can be drilled on-site to accommodate fasteners, making it adaptable to a wide range of project layouts. Each package includes 2 pieces. This product is not recommended for welding due to the galvanized coating.

This solid angle is suited for residential and light commercial construction, renovation, and repair work where a strong, durable metal support is required. Common applications include shelf support, framing reinforcement, equipment mounting, and structural bracing. It is installed by general contractors, carpenters, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a ready-to-use steel angle without additional fabrication. The 72-inch length provides flexibility for custom cutting to fit specific project dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians using standard drill bits rated for steel. Secure fastening points according to applicable local building codes and load requirements. Do not weld this angle — the galvanized coating produces hazardous zinc fumes when heated. When cutting to length, use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves.
