This is an 8-gauge (#8) steel bar measuring 0.25 in (6.35 mm) in diameter and 8.5ft (2.59 meters) long. It is a black, powder-coated finish bar that is part of the Dremec line. The bar is ideal for use in anchoring, suspension, support, and hanger applications. It is also suitable for use in the construction of scaffolds and other structural applications. The 8G4025.0X8.5B has heavy-duty-gage galvanized steel construction that is specifically designed for high-strength applications. The bar has an industry-leading coefficient of friction, which is a result of its greater-diameter surface area. The 8G4025.0X8.5B is designed to be compatible with standard fastening systems offered by Dremec, including the struts, angles, ties and clamps. It is also designed with corrosion-resistant materials for durability and longevity.
