Also known as Alloy 260, this general purpose tubing is good for air, propane, natural gas, gasoline, and mildly corrosive environments. Use for general plumbing applications and instruments. Made of unpolished low-lead yellow brass (70% copper and 30% zinc). Sterilize with steam (autoclave). Meets ASTM B135, Fed. Spec. WW-T-791, and MIL-T-46072

This is a great reference. My only concern is that the brass rod comes unfinished.

I can always polish with something like Brasso, but how do I get a "permanent" polished finish? (in the past, I have done things like spray with acrylic, but it doesn't tend to give as smooth a finish)

So is there a way for me to give it a "permanent" finish myself, or alternatively, is there a source for such pre-finished rod?

Thanks

here's your answer
