National Mfg N179-986 Galvanized Flat Bar 0.75x36 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N179-986 is a solid galvanized flat bar measuring 0.75 inches wide by 36 inches long. It is engineered for structural reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and general support applications in construction and industrial environments. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for demanding job-site conditions. This flat bar can be drilled and cut to size, making it adaptable to a wide range of fastening and framing tasks. It is not recommended for welding due to the galvanized coating, which releases harmful fumes when heated. Sold in a package of 3 bars, each weighing approximately 1.7 pounds.

This flat bar is well suited for residential and commercial construction projects where structural reinforcement or bracket fabrication is required. Typical applications include base plate support, framing ties, strapping, and general metalwork where corrosion resistance is a priority. Industrial maintenance crews and construction tradespeople use this bar where a ready-cut, drilled-compatible steel flat stock saves layout and prep time on the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by construction tradespeople or industrial maintenance technicians. Drill using standard HSS drill bits rated for mild steel. Do not weld this bar — the galvanized coating produces toxic zinc fumes when heated and must not be subjected to open flame or arc welding processes. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow local safety codes when cutting or drilling.
