National Mfg N266-114 Flat Steel Bar 3x48 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N266-114 is a solid flat plain steel bar measuring 3 inches wide by 48 inches long and 3/16 inches thick. Manufactured from hot-rolled plain steel, it offers reliable structural integrity for support, bracing, and fabrication tasks in construction and industrial environments. The hot-rolled process delivers consistent material properties throughout, making this bar well-suited for structural reinforcement, custom brackets, and general metalwork. It meets ASTM Specification A1011, a widely recognized standard for hot-rolled steel sheet and strip used in structural and mechanical applications. Licensed trades and skilled fabricators will find this bar straightforward to cut, drill, form, and weld into assemblies requiring dependable steel stock.

This flat steel bar is intended for construction and industrial applications where a reliable, weldable steel component is needed. It performs in both interior and exterior environments, making it appropriate for outdoor structural supports, equipment mounting frames, and general-purpose metal fabrication projects. The 3 inches width and 48 inches length provide a practical form factor for standard support and strapping applications without requiring additional cutting for many common installations.
