National Mfg N247-643 Aluminum Mill Channel 72 Inches 2 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-643 is a mill-finish aluminum channel measuring 0.25 inches wide, 0.0625 inches thick, and 72 inches long. Sold in a pack of two, this channel is designed for trim work and framework reinforcement across a range of construction and finishing applications. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while delivering the structural integrity needed to withstand heavy pressure loads. The channel can be cut, bent, or formed to suit a variety of project configurations, making it a practical stock material for contractors and tradespeople working on light structural or finish applications.

This channel is commonly used to cap or protect plywood edges where the plywood thickness matches the channel width dimension. The channel width is the first size specification listed and is expressed as a fractional measurement. Typical applications include interior trim finishing, frame reinforcement, and edge protection in residential and light commercial construction settings. The mill finish is uncoated aluminum, suitable for projects where painting or further finishing will be applied on site.
