Brass Hexagon Rod
CW614N (Ms58) brass hexagon rod. As the spanner flats come ready-formed, it reduces machining time in the production of nuts, pipe fittings and fasteners.

Grade and sizes
MS58
A free-machining brass containing about 58 % copper, 39 % zinc and 3 % lead. The lead makes the chips short and brittle, so the alloy machines cleanly at high cutting speeds with a good surface finish. It is well suited to hot forging, while its cold formability is limited. It is one of the most widely used brasses for turned and CNC-machined parts, fasteners, fittings and valve components.
Rod standard: EN 12164
- ACROSS FLATS (A/F)
- 3–100 mm
- LENGTH
- 3000–3200 mm
- CUTTING
- Cut to length; no minimum cut length. 15 mm A/F and below are normally supplied in full lengths.
For large-quantity orders, other cut sizes are possible.
Chemical composition, mechanical properties and material certificates are available on request.

Frequently asked questions
How is the size of a hexagon specified?
The size of a hexagon is the distance between two opposite flat faces (across flats, A/F). For example, a 24 mm hexagon takes a 24 mm spanner.
What are the designations for MS58?
MS58: CuZn39Pb3, EN CW614N, DIN 2.0401, UNS C38500, BS CZ121. Any of these designations can be used in your enquiry; we will match the correct material.
Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?
The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.
What information should I send for a quote?
We only need the size (across flats (A/F) × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
