Brass tube fittings
Brass tube fittings and brass tubing for plumbing, gas, pneumatic and cooling-equipment lines, including threaded, flare and ferrule fittings, run tees and unions, made to standard or custom specifications.
Overview
Brass is a practical choice for water, air and many gas lines where stainless steel is not required. This family covers brass compression and ferrule fittings, BSP-threaded fittings, flare fittings, female run tees and equal unions, with NPT, BSPT and BSPP terminations and others on request. Nut threads are silver-plated. Admiralty brass tubing, a copper-zinc alloy with a small tin addition, is offered for evaporators and coolers, and decorative brass tubing for furniture, architectural grilles and lighting. Specials and small batches can be discussed.
Selecting brass fittings
Check that the media is suitable for brass: it is widely used for water, air and fuel gases but is not suited to every chemical, and ammonia-bearing media in particular call for a different material. Then confirm the joint type (flare, ferrule or thread), the thread standard and the tube outside diameter.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose brass rather than stainless steel?
Brass is often chosen for water, compressed air and fuel-gas lines where the media is not aggressive and cost or machinability matters. Stainless steel is preferred for corrosive chemicals, higher temperatures or hygiene-sensitive service. Check compatibility with your specific media before selecting brass.
What should I include in a brass fittings enquiry?
State the fitting type, tube or pipe size, joint type (flare, ferrule or threaded), thread standard, media and working pressure, and quantities. For tubing, give outside diameter, wall thickness and length. You can request material composition details with the quotation.
