K&S 1146 Round Brass Tubes, 5/32" OD x 0.014" Wall x 36" Long, 5 Tubes, Made in USA

This is very good quality tubing. The tolerances are rather tight. I have bought quite a few different sizes of this stuff and it has been very consistent. The length is always over spec by at least 1/4" and usually 1/2". I don't use this in the "telescoping" mode so I am not able to comment on that. Good stuff!!

purchased to construct an alcohol restrictor tube for a vintage Optimus 111T multi-fuel stove... the brass has the same quality construction as from K&S - i bought the thicker-walled material...(btw, details are 1.75" length, two 5/32" holes 1/8" from nipple - stove now burns alcohol on the 'M' (0.03mm/0.012") jet - a proper alcohol jet is 0.051mm/0.02")fast shipping, good packaging - a good seller! i'll buy from them again!

Dimensions are good. Comes out as-measured. Interior surface is not as smooth as I would like. (I repair brass instruments.) There is ridging/rifling on the interior surface. The exterior surface is very smooth. As-shipped, it's very hard but after annealing it with a torch, it bent easily and was nicely malleable. Not as high quality as K&S, but still good.

I bought some of this thinwall brass tubing to make a barrel adapter for a Nerf/Larami SuperMaxx 750 foam dart blaster, since the Larami SuperMaxx darts are no longer available. Nerf darts fit so loosely that can easily fall out, but the home-made darts that are commonly called "Stefans" fit perfectly. I simply wrapped electrical tape around a 4~5" piece until it fit snugly, and I didn't have to open the blaster, or modify it all. The same adapter should fit old Nerf blasters that fire "Mega" darts, allowing it to fire regular Nerf "micro" darts... or Stefans, if the barrel post is removed. I hope this information is helpful.

Good quality, good packing, bends without kinking. Just what I needed. Solders easy. I'm using this stuff for bushings and supply lines for a little steam engine I'm building. This stuff is perfect. The other size telescopes perfectly too for use as bushings, valve rods, and piston rods.

The specs as shown in the "Brass C260 Seamless Round Tubing" provided by "Small Parts" are inconsistent. For tubing, the "OD" should be equal to the "ID" plus twice the "Wall Thickness". 56 of the 123 entries for round brass tubing are incorrect. You may not get what you expect if you're counting on telescoping different tubing sizes. An example is: 'Brass C260 Seamless Round Tubing, 3/16" OD, 7/64" ID, 1/64" Wall'. One of these three numbers must be wrong.Update: They have now corrected their specs and I like the tubing so now I'm satisfied!

This tube is not hard, as I expected. Instead, it was flexible and bent a lot. When you put a lot of pressure on it, then you can snap it in half. If you are looking for a stiff tube, you should not buy this.

Brass tube. Probably real brass. I could tell it was a tube because the hole went all the way through. It did what i needed it to do. Nothing spectacular, almost any metal would have done the trick. I just happened to choose brass when you buy your own brass tube, you can decide for yourself if it's brassy enough for you.
