National Mfg N179-994 Galvanized Flat Bar 0.75x48in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N179-994 is a solid galvanized steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches wide by 48 inches long. It is used for structural reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and support applications in construction and industrial settings. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making this bar suitable for demanding environments where bare steel would degrade. Contractors, ironworkers, and general tradespeople use this flat bar as a versatile structural component. It can be drilled and cut to length on the job site. Welding is not recommended due to the galvanized coating, which releases harmful fumes when heated.

This flat bar is suited for light structural and fabrication work in both residential construction and industrial environments. Common applications include base plate reinforcement, frame supports, bracing, and strap fabrication. The 48-inch length provides flexibility for a wide range of field cuts. Each package contains two bars, making it practical for small-scale jobs or repairs requiring multiple pieces. It is appropriate for use wherever a corrosion-resistant steel bar stock is needed and welding is not part of the process.

Installation Notes

This flat bar is typically installed by contractors, ironworkers, or general tradespeople using standard drilling and fastening tools. Do not weld this bar — the galvanized coating produces toxic zinc fumes when exposed to welding heat. Follow applicable local building codes and OSHA safety guidelines when working with structural bar stock. Wear appropriate PPE when drilling or cutting galvanized steel.
