Each rod measures 1\/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, and the pack includes 10 rods. The integrated flux coating provides a cleaning action during the brazing process, reducing oxidation and promoting a smooth, consistent flow. With a tensile strength of 65,000 PSI and a melting point of 1,598 degrees F, this rod is formulated to deliver strong, ductile joints on most common base metals encountered in trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brazing rod is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, smooth-flowing filler metal is required. Typical uses include joining copper, brass, bronze, and steel components in plumbing systems, refrigeration lines, and HVAC assemblies. The flux coating eliminates the need for a separate flux application in most standard brazing scenarios, making it a practical choice for service technicians and pipe fitters working in the field or shop. It performs well on most common brazing joint configurations where moderate-to-high tensile strength and ductility are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTensile strength of 65,000 PSI for strong, durable brazed joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMelting point of 1,598 degrees F for controlled heat application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated flux coating eliminates the need for separate flux in most applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-fuming bronze formulation reduces smoke and fume output during brazing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth-flowing rod promotes consistent filler metal distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of 10 rods, each 1\/8 inch x 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on most common brazing applications involving copper, brass, bronze, and steel base metals in plumbing, HVAC, and general metal fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazing work should be performed by qualified plumbers, HVAC technicians, or certified welding professionals following applicable local codes and safety standards. Always shut off and depressurize the system being serviced before applying heat to any joint. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and heat-resistant gloves. Follow the rod manufacturer's recommended heat range and allow joints to cool naturally before handling or re-pressurizing the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 65,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,598 degrees F \/ 870 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flux Coated Low-Fuming Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FORNEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559782383922,"sku":"48500","price":160.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e94c69d3a58584d43e27bc44d23f403d.jpg?v=1786440900","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/forney-industries-48500-flux-coated-bronze-brazing-rod-10pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
