Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N215-525 is a hot rolled plain steel solid flat bar measuring 0.5 inches wide, 72 inches long, and 0.125 inches thick. It is designed as a structural support component for construction and industrial applications. The bar is produced from plain steel with hot rolled processing, which gives it consistent forming and welding characteristics suitable for fabrication work. Licensed contractors, ironworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians typically work with this material when building supports, brackets, frames, or custom metal assemblies. It meets ASTM Specification A111, confirming dimensional and material consistency for trade use.

This flat bar is suited for residential and commercial construction support tasks as well as industrial fabrication and maintenance environments. Its 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot run of material that can be cut, drilled, bent, or welded to fit a wide range of structural and support applications. The hot rolled finish makes it ready for immediate use in general metalworking tasks without the need for secondary processing. Packages contain 2 bars per unit.
