Value Collection RNDRD-1.25-72 Brass Round Rod Alloy 360

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RNDRD-1.25-72 is a solid brass round rod measuring 1.25 inches in diameter and 72 inches (6 feet) in length. Manufactured from Alloy 360, one of the most machinable brass alloys available, this rod is well suited for turning, threading, and fabrication work across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. At 27.85 pounds, the rod has the mass and rigidity expected from a full 6-foot bar stock. It conforms to ASTM-B16 standards, making it appropriate for use in plumbing, valve bodies, fittings, and general mechanical assemblies where dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance are required.

This rod is appropriate for plumbing shops, HVAC fabrication, electrical contractors, and general maintenance operations that require bar stock for custom component machining or repair work. Alloy 360 brass is commonly used to produce valve stems, fittings, couplings, bushings, and threaded fasteners. Its free-machining characteristics reduce tool wear and cycle time at the lathe or CNC machine, making it a practical choice for both job shop and field fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Alloy 360 brass for superior machinability and corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASTM-B16 standard for dimensional and material consistency
• 1.25 inch diameter suits common valve, fitting, and bushing stock requirements
• Full 72 inch (6 foot) length allows multiple parts to be cut from a single bar
• Solid round profile ready for lathe, mill, or saw operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass bar stock suitable for machining into plumbing components, valve parts, bushings, couplings, and other mechanical hardware conforming to ASTM-B16 requirements.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of brass rod should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals using appropriate tooling for non-ferrous metals. Eye protection and proper chip guards are required during turning or sawing operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting to prevent movement. Finished components installed in plumbing or gas systems must comply with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant.
