Value Collection RNDRD-2-36 Brass Round Rod Alloy 360

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RNDRD-2-36 is a solid brass round rod measuring 2 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, made from Alloy 360 brass. Alloy 360, also known as free-machining brass, is widely regarded for its excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for precision machined parts, fittings, and mechanical components. At 35.65 pounds, this is a substantial, full-length stock bar suited for shop cutting, turning, or milling. It meets ASTM-B16 standards for brass rod and bar stock. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals working in plumbing, electrical, or general industrial applications will find this rod well-suited to high-volume or custom part production.

This brass round rod is intended for multi-purpose industrial and trade use. Common applications include the production of bushings, couplings, valve stems, fittings, fasteners, and custom machined parts. It is equally at home in a job shop producing one-off components or a production environment cutting multiple pieces from a single bar. The 3-foot length allows for efficient yield when cutting standard part blanks on a lathe or band saw.

Key Features

• Alloy 360 free-machining brass for excellent chip-breaking and high-speed machining performance
• 2-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for large bushings, valve bodies, and structural components
• 36-inch length allows multiple part blanks from a single bar
• Meets ASTM-B16 standard for brass rod, bar, and shapes
• Multi-purpose application across plumbing, electrical, marine, and general industrial uses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Alloy 360 brass round bar conforming to ASTM-B16, suitable for general machining and fabrication applications where free-machining brass stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of brass round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling and machine guarding. Secure the bar properly in a chuck or vise before any cutting operation to prevent movement. Eye protection and proper chip management are required when turning or milling brass. Always follow applicable shop safety standards and local regulations when handling long bar stock of this weight.
