This bar stock is engineered for structural reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and general repair work across residential and light commercial applications. Anodized aluminum construction provides corrosion and weather resistance without the weight penalty of steel. The material is strong enough to withstand heavy pressure loads while remaining workable — it can be bent or formed into a wide range of shapes using standard shop equipment. Tradespeople in construction, HVAC, plumbing, and general contracting will find this a practical stock material for field repairs and custom fabrications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat bar is suited for applications where a lightweight yet durable metal stock is needed. Common uses include reinforcing framing members, fabricating mounting or base plates, patching structural gaps, and creating custom brackets or supports. The 48-inch length provides enough material for most single-piece applications without requiring additional splicing. The mill finish with anodized coating makes it appropriate for both indoor and exposed outdoor installations where moisture or mild corrosive environments are a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnodized aluminum construction resists weather, corrosion, and oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight profile reduces handling fatigue compared to steel flat bar of similar dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSufficient structural integrity to withstand heavy pressure loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkable material — can be bent or formed into multiple shapes with standard tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48-inch length suits a wide range of reinforcement and repair tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for base plates, structural reinforcement, and field repair projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose aluminum flat bar for use in reinforcement, base plate fabrication, and repair applications across construction, HVAC, plumbing, and related trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum flat bar can be cut with a metal-cutting blade, drilled with standard HSS bits, and bent using a vise or sheet metal brake — avoid using tools or techniques intended for steel, as aluminum work-hardens differently. When used in structural or load-bearing reinforcement roles, ensure the installation complies with applicable local building codes. Secure all fasteners appropriately for the base material to prevent galvanic corrosion when aluminum contacts dissimilar metals. No welding or heating is required for most field repair and fabrication tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NATIONAL MFG\/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: N247-130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NATIONAL HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561895166258,"sku":"N247-130","price":42.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf89ce973f1fd4c08e495732871f82b9_c75ec201-f211-41d6-9db2-5705ef4d57f7.jpg?v=1786469620","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/national-mfg-n247-130-aluminum-mill-flat-bar-2x1-8x48-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
