National Mfg N215-236 Solid Brass Smooth Rod 3/16x36

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N215-236 is a solid brass smooth rod measuring 3/16 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Solid brass construction delivers superior corrosion resistance, making this rod a practical choice for applications exposed to moisture or harsh environments. The material offers good machining characteristics, meaning it cuts, drills, and shapes cleanly with standard tooling. This rod is suited for trade professionals, fabricators, and skilled DIYers working on hobby builds, craft projects, or marine installations where dimensional accuracy and material integrity matter.

This smooth rod is designed for hobby, craft, and marine project applications where a corrosion-resistant, machinable metal stock is required. Its 36-inch length provides useful working stock for custom fabrication, repairs, or component manufacturing. The 3/16-inch diameter fits standard rod guides, bushings, and fittings commonly used in light marine hardware and general fabrication work. Sold as a package of 2 rods per unit.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction for superior corrosion resistance in marine and high-humidity environments
• Good machining characteristics — cuts, drills, and taps cleanly with standard tooling
• 3/16-inch diameter by 36-inch length provides versatile working stock
• Smooth surface finish suitable for sliding, guiding, or decorative applications
• Packaged as 2 rods per unit for back-to-back project use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid brass smooth rod for hobby, craft, and marine fabrication applications requiring a 3/16-inch diameter rod stock.

Installation Notes

This rod is worked with standard metal fabrication tools including hacksaws, files, drill presses, and taps. When cutting to length, deburr cut ends before fitting to avoid damage to seals, bushings, or adjacent components. For marine installations, ensure all fastening hardware used alongside this rod is also corrosion-resistant to prevent galvanic reactions.
