National Mfg N247-627 Aluminum Square Tube 1x1/16x72 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-627 is a mill-finish aluminum square tube measuring 1 inch by 1/16 inch wall thickness by 72 inches in length. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while maintaining structural integrity under heavy pressure loads. The mill finish is the standard extruded surface, ready for cutting, drilling, painting, or anodizing as the job requires. This tube is sized for light structural and fabrication work and is handled by general contractors, fence installers, and metal fabricators.

This square tube is designed for use in fencing, handrail systems, framework, and gate construction. Its aluminum composition makes it suitable for both interior and exterior applications where corrosion resistance and low weight are priorities. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot working section, which aligns with standard fence panel and gate frame dimensions. The package includes 2 pieces, giving installers material for a complete frame section or multiple smaller cuts.

Key Features

• Mill-finish aluminum construction resists corrosion without added coating
• 1-inch square profile with 1/16-inch wall thickness suits light structural framing
• 72-inch length matches standard fence panel and gate frame dimensions
• Aluminum can be bent, cut, drilled, or formed without specialized tooling
• Package quantity of 2 pieces per order
• Lightweight yet capable of withstanding heavy pressure loads in typical framing applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in aluminum fencing, handrail assemblies, gate frameworks, and general structural fabrication where a 1-inch square tube profile is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and drilling aluminum square tube typically requires carbide-tipped blades or bits to maintain clean edges and prevent galling. Deburr all cut ends before assembly to protect hands and mating components. When used in structural handrail or gate applications, verify that fastener spacing and connection methods comply with applicable local building codes. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when cutting or forming aluminum.
