Brass Pipe Fittings

• Composition: Primarily an alloy of copper and zinc, sometimes with small amounts of other metals like lead.
• Properties: Good corrosion resistance, malleable, and easy to machine. It’s also more cost-effective than bronze.
• Applications: Commonly used in water supply lines, heating systems, and gas lines.

Bronze Pipe Fittings

• Composition: Mainly an alloy of copper and tin, but can include other elements such as aluminum or nickel.
• Properties: Superior corrosion resistance compared to brass, especially in saltwater environments. Strong and durable.
• Applications: Often used in marine applications, as well as in heavy-duty industrial settings.

Both types of fittings can be found in various shapes (like elbows, tees, couplings) and sizes to fit different piping systems.
