National Mfg N180-018 Galvanized Flat Bar 1x36 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N180-018 is a solid galvanized flat bar measuring 1 inch wide by 36 inches long, intended for reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and structural support in construction and industrial settings. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for demanding jobsite environments. The bar stock can be drilled to accept fasteners, making it adaptable to a wide range of framing and support applications. It is not recommended for welding because the galvanized coating releases harmful fumes when heated. Licensed contractors, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople working in structural or industrial contexts are the primary installers of this material.

This flat bar is designed for use in construction and industrial applications where a corrosion-resistant steel bar stock is required. Typical uses include reinforcement backing, bracket fabrication, base plate support, and custom strapping. The 36-inch length provides a workable stock size that can be cut or drilled on site. It is sold in a package of 3 bars, making it practical for multi-point installations or repeat fastening tasks on a single project.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by structural fabricators, general contractors, or skilled tradespeople. Drill appropriate pilot holes before fastening to avoid splitting or deforming the bar stock. Do not weld this bar — the galvanized coating produces hazardous zinc fumes when exposed to welding heat. Follow all applicable local building codes and safety regulations when incorporating this bar into structural assemblies.
