National Mfg N247-072 Aluminum Mill Flat Bar 1x1/8x72

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-072 is an anodized aluminum mill flat bar measuring 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick, and 72 inches long. This flat bar is designed for structural reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and general repair work across a range of trades and construction applications. Anodized aluminum provides corrosion and weather resistance without adding significant weight, making this bar suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The material is lightweight yet capable of handling substantial pressure loads. It can also be bent or formed into custom shapes when the job calls for it. Each package contains 2 bars. Total package weight is 1.84 pounds.

This flat bar suits residential and light commercial projects where a low-profile metal stock is needed. Common applications include reinforcing frames, fabricating mounting plates, patching structural gaps, and custom metalwork. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors use aluminum flat bar as a versatile stock material for brackets, supports, and repair patches. Its formability makes it especially useful when standard off-the-shelf hardware does not fit the application.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general contractors, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals as part of fabrication or repair work. Cut aluminum flat bar with appropriate metal-cutting tools and deburr all cut edges before final installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. When using outdoors or in corrosive environments, confirm that fasteners and adjacent materials are compatible with aluminum to avoid galvanic corrosion. Always follow applicable local building codes and safety standards when incorporating metal stock into structural assemblies.
