Brass fittings are components made of brass, a metal alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc, that are used to connect and control the flow of fluid or gas in a plumbing or piping system. Brass fittings are popular in many industrial and residential applications due to their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Some common types of brass fittings include:
1.Couplings: used to join two pipes of the same size and type.
2.Elbows: used to change the direction of the pipe.
3.Tees: used to connect three pipes of the same or different sizes.
4.Adapters: used to connect pipes of different sizes or materials.
5.Valves: used to control the flow of fluids or gases in a piping system.
Brass fittings are often preferred over other materials such as steel or plastic due to their malleability, which allows for easier installation and customization, as well as their resistance to high temperatures and pressures.
