    Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Hex Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Hex Bars.
    The most common stainless steel, 304 is a good all-around choice for corrosion resistance in a wide range of applications. Use these bars to create standoffs, pipe fittings, fasteners, and valve bodies. They have a hexagonal shape that allows for efficient torque transmission and smooth wrenching. Made to ASTM A484 or EN 10088-3 specifications to fit standard hex sockets and tools, these bars make parts that are easy to grab and tighten. They resist corrosion at temperatures up to 1500° F.
    304/304L Stainless Steel—This dual-certified stainless steel meets both 304 and 304L requirements. Its low carbon content improves weldability while retaining corrosion resistance and strength.
