National Mfg N247-189 Aluminum Mill Flat Bar 3/4x1/16x48 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-189 is an aluminum mill flat bar measuring 0.75 inches wide, 0.0625 inches thick, and 48 inches long. It is sold in a package of 2 bars. Aluminum mill flat bar stock is used across construction, repair, and fabrication trades for structural reinforcement, base plate applications, and general repair work. Aluminum is lightweight relative to steel while still carrying significant load capacity, and the material can be bent or formed into a variety of configurations without specialized equipment.

This flat bar is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile, corrosion-resistant metal stock is needed. Common uses include reinforcing wood framing, fabricating base plates, bracing, strapping, and patch repairs. Its 48-inch length provides a standard working stock that can be cut to length on the job site. Carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this type of flat bar stock.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a metal-cutting blade or tin snips appropriate for thin aluminum stock. Deburr cut edges before installation to avoid injury and ensure a clean fit. When fastening, use aluminum-compatible fasteners or corrosion-resistant hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion. No special trade license is required for general flat bar installation, though structural applications should follow applicable local building codes.
