These rods aren't 440 Source, but they're the same castings as their 5140 I-beam rods, so the specs should be the same. Thanks in advance.

But if you are using similar rods from a different manufacturer (it is most likely Cat, I think they are the only other ones making a 5140 type rod) then it will probably be a much lower spec.
