Brass Pipe Fittings are essential components to connect, change, and end direction of pipes in commercial and residential applications. Pipe fittings made of brass offer many advantages with their durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. Brass is highly resistant to water and non-reactive to many chemicals making it suitable for many low to medium pressure applications with environmental concerns. While galvanized malleable iron fittings offer some corrosion resistance, brass is highly successful in such environments. Brass fittings will be commonplace in plumbing, heating systems, gas systems, marine systems, and fire protection systems.
Please take note of the ‘LF’ designation for brass fittings, as Fasteners Etc. Inc. offers a wide selection of lead-free options. These fittings meet the definition per Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
