National Mfg N215-608 Plain Steel Flat Bar 2x48x1/8 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N215-608 is a hot rolled plain steel solid flat bar measuring 2 inches wide, 48 inches long, and 0.125 inches thick. This bar stock is manufactured to meet ASTM Specification A111, confirming consistent material quality for structural and fabrication applications. Its hot rolled process gives it reliable forming and welding characteristics, making it a practical choice for support structures, brackets, frames, and general metalwork in construction and industrial settings. Licensed contractors, ironworkers, and fabricators commonly spec this type of flat bar for load-bearing and non-load-bearing support applications.

This flat bar is suited for residential and commercial construction projects as well as light industrial fabrication. It works well as a structural support, tie plate, or reinforcement element where a low-profile steel section is required. The plain steel finish accepts welding, grinding, and painting without special surface prep. Package quantity is 3 bars per unit of measure, making it practical for small to mid-scale projects requiring multiple pieces.
