Brazing Alloy Rod 3/16 in
Value Brand brazing alloy rod in bronze composition contains 56 percent copper and measures 36 inches long. It is intended for joining copper, brass, bronze and similar metals in plumbing, HVAC and general repair work.
Upgrading from lower-strength filler
The rod delivers a tensile strength of 71,000 psi and a brazing range of 1670 to 1750 degrees Fahrenheit. The jump is worthwhile when joints must withstand higher mechanical loads or when AWS A5.8 classification is required by specification.
Check base-metal compatibility and ventilation
Verify that the parent metals are suitable for bronze brazing and that your torch can reach the stated temperature range. California Proposition 65 warnings note cancer and reproductive-harm risks, so use adequate fume extraction and personal protection.

Questions about this item
What diameter torch tip or holder fits the 3/16 in rod?
The rod measures 3/16 in diameter, so select a torch tip or holder sized for that exact thickness to prevent slipping during heating.
What flux and heating step do beginners skip when brazing with this bronze alloy?
Apply a bronze-compatible flux to the joint, then heat the base metal to 1670–1750 °F until the rod melts on contact — not the torch flame directly.
When should the rod be replaced if the tensile strength drops below the rated 71,000 psi?
Replace rods that show surface oxidation, contamination, or have been overheated past 1750 °F, as these conditions degrade the 71,000 psi tensile rating.
