National Mfg N179-978 Solid Galvanized Angle 1-1/4 X 72 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N179-978 is a solid galvanized steel angle designed to provide strong structural support in construction and repair applications. Measuring 1-1/4 inches wide by 72 inches in length, this angle iron features a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish that extends service life in demanding environments. It can be drilled on-site to accommodate fasteners and custom mounting configurations, making it a versatile framing and bracing component. Note that welding is not recommended due to the galvanized coating. Contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople commonly use this part for framing, bracing, and support work.

This solid galvanized angle is suited for residential and light commercial construction projects, as well as general repair and maintenance scenarios where a rigid, corrosion-resistant support member is required. Its 72-inch length provides substantial span coverage, reducing the need for splicing in many standard framing situations. It is sold in a package quantity of two, making it practical for projects requiring paired or mirrored support installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose structural support angle for use in construction framing, bracing, and repair applications where a strong, corrosion-resistant metal support member is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance tradespeople using standard drill bits and appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Always ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the intended load before securing the angle. Do not attempt to weld this component, as the galvanized coating releases harmful fumes when heated. Follow applicable local building codes for structural framing and support installations.
