National Mfg N215-244 Solid Brass Smooth Rod 1/4x36

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N215-244 is a solid brass smooth rod measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Solid brass construction delivers superior corrosion resistance, making this rod well-suited for environments where moisture exposure is a concern. The alloy offers good machining characteristics, meaning it cuts, drills, and threads cleanly with standard tooling. Tradespeople, fabricators, and hobbyists working on marine, craft, or specialty mechanical projects will find this rod easy to work with and reliably consistent in dimension across its full length. Each package contains 2 rods.

This smooth rod is designed for hobby, craft, and marine project applications. It is commonly used in custom fabrication, repair work, and prototype builds where a corrosion-resistant, machinable metal stock is required. The 36-inch length provides enough material for most small-to-medium fabrication tasks without requiring a cut-down from a longer bar. Marine environments, where exposure to salt air and water accelerates corrosion in ferrous metals, are a primary use case for solid brass rod stock of this type.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction for superior corrosion resistance in marine and humid environments
• Good machining characteristics — cuts, drills, and threads with standard tooling
• 0.25-inch diameter provides a versatile stock size for small fabrication work
• 36-inch length offers full working stock without pre-cutting
• Smooth rod profile suitable for axles, shafts, standoffs, and custom hardware
• Package quantity of 2 rods per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed for hobby, craft, and marine fabrication projects requiring 0.25-inch diameter solid brass rod stock. Suitable for any application calling for a corrosion-resistant, machinable smooth rod in this diameter and length.

Installation Notes

This rod stock is worked with standard metalworking tools including hacksaws, drill presses, lathes, and taps sized for brass. Always deburr cut ends before fitting into assemblies to prevent scoring of mating surfaces. When used in marine or wet environments, inspect periodically for galvanic corrosion if the rod is in contact with dissimilar metals. No special certifications or licensed trade are required for typical hobby or craft use; follow applicable codes when integrating into regulated marine or mechanical systems.
