Q: Is brass fitting OK for water?
Brass fittings are one of the most commonly used fittings for water lines. This is due to the unique features
that make it ideal for a variety of uses, plumbing being at the top of the list.
Q: What is the pressure rating for brass fittings?
Brass can accommodate pressures to 3000 psi depending on the design and size of the fitting. However,
most brass fitting applications are rated for lower pressures.
Q: What are brass fittings used for?
Brass pipe fittings are typically used for carrying water, chemicals, flammable gases, slurries, and other plumbing
substances. Pipe fittings made of brass come in a wide range of shapes and thread sizes to connect, adapt, or

Q: Can you use brass fittings with PVC?
PVC and brass pipe fittings use the same national pipe thread (NPT) connections. There are sevl ways to connect PVC
pipe to brass pipe. Mechanical pipe connections using threaded joints are the most secure. Compression pipe connectors
using rubber seals and locking nuts are the next best solution.
Q: What is the raw material of brass fittings?
We use CW617 or 57-3 brass to produce brass fitting.
Q: What is a brass compression fitting?
Compression fittings typically consist of the pipe, a nut, a compression ring and the fitting itself. The nut and ring are
placed on the pipe, then the fitting is placed at the pipe's end. As the nut is tightened against the fitting the brass ring
is deformed against the pipe itself, creating a strong seal.
Q: Are compression fittings OK for plumbing?
Compression fittings in the world of plumbing are very common. They are a safe way to connect copper pipe without
the use of heat making them popular with DIY'ers. Many different types of valves, tees, connectors and utilities require
compression fittings in order to make them water tight and safe.
Q: Do compression fittings need gaskets?
Unlike other types of joints, compression fittings do not need additional sealing materials like gaskets or o-rings
because they seal through the use of threads alone.
