National Mfg N301-564 Sheet Metal 24x24 16 Gauge Steel

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N301-564 is a 24 x 24 inch, 16-gauge cold rolled plain steel sheet designed for general-purpose commercial and industrial use. Manufactured to ASTM A366 specification, this sheet delivers consistent thickness and surface quality suitable for fabrication work. The matte finish accepts paint and plating without additional surface prep. At 29.34 pounds per sheet, it offers the rigidity expected from 16-gauge stock while remaining workable for forming and welding operations. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal contractors, and industrial maintenance crews reach for this material when they need reliable flat stock for ductwork patches, brackets, enclosures, and similar field fabrication tasks.

This sheet is suited for commercial and industrial environments where general-purpose cold rolled steel is the specified material. Typical applications include custom duct patches, equipment mounting plates, protective covers, and structural backing in mechanical systems. The 24 x 24 inch format provides a practical working blank that can be cut, bent, punched, or welded to fit a wide range of on-site fabrication needs. It ships in a package quantity of three sheets, making it practical for shops and contractors who need consistent material on hand.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal work on this material is performed by qualified sheet metal workers or mechanical contractors using standard shears, brakes, punches, and welding equipment. When cutting or grinding, wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, as cut edges are sharp. Follow applicable local codes and SMACNA standards when incorporating fabricated components into HVAC or mechanical systems. Deburr all cut edges before final assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fitment.
