Value Collection RCT-0.75-2-36 Brass Rectangular Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RCT-0.75-2-36 is a solid brass rectangular bar stock cut to 36 inches in length, 2 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick. Manufactured from Alloy 360 brass, this bar meets ASTM-B16 standards and carries a half-hard temper rating, making it well suited for machining, fabrication, and general-purpose trade applications. With a yield strength of 170 MPa and 20 percent elongation, it offers a practical balance of machinability and structural integrity. At 17.03 pounds, this is a full-length bar intended for shop or field fabrication use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and general contractors.

This Alloy 360 brass rectangular bar is a multi-purpose stock material used across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical trades wherever a machinable, corrosion-resistant brass stock is required. It is commonly used for fabricating fittings, brackets, valve components, bushings, and custom hardware. The half-hard temper makes it easier to cut, drill, and tap compared to fully hardened stock, reducing machining time on the shop floor or in the field.

• Full 36-inch length provides flexibility for custom cuts and fabrication
• Rectangular profile simplifies fixturing and material handling

Compatibility

Designed as a multi-purpose brass bar stock suitable for general fabrication, machining, and replacement applications across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical trades.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of brass bar stock should be performed using appropriate metalworking equipment with proper personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Follow applicable shop safety codes when operating band saws, lathes, or milling equipment. Deburr all cut edges before installation in any fluid-carrying or load-bearing assembly. Consult applicable codes such as IPC or IFGC when incorporating fabricated brass components into plumbing or gas systems.
