Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-239 is an aluminum mill flat bar measuring 1 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick, and 48 inches long. It is made from aluminum alloy in a mill finish, offering a lightweight yet structurally capable profile suited to a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks. The material resists corrosion, accepts common fasteners, and can be cut, drilled, bent, or formed without specialized equipment. This flat bar is a practical stock material for tradespeople, contractors, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable metal bar for structural support or repair work.

This flat bar is used in residential and commercial applications where a low-weight metal stock piece is required. Common uses include reinforcement backing, base plate construction, bracket fabrication, and structural repair patches.

Contractors, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals keep flat bar stock on hand for field repairs and custom bracket work.
