FAQs

Brass is one of the most common materials used for making fittings. Brass as a construction material is an alloy (primarily) of copper and zinc. Brass fittings are in high demand because of some inherent properties which make them superior than other materials. Brass fittings are for carrying water, gases, chemicals, fire sprinkler systems, etc. Fittings made of brass are available in a wide variety of shapes and thread sizes to connect, control any air or liquid flow in a pipe or tube.

Brass fittings are used in industrial, automotive, and truck applications because they are strong and durable. The advantages of brass for fittings include its good corrosive resistance, and also its plating, joining, polishing and finishing characteristics. Brass as a material is easily machined and so can be given any shapes of the various types of fittings available.

Relative Softness of Metal Provides for a Tight Seal and Ease of Installation.
Brass provides a more solid platform (vs. plastics) to facilitate the flow of air and liquids.
Brass fittings have excellent high temperature ductility and a reasonable cold ductility.
