Why Brass Fittings? Brass fittings are popular because they are strong and durable and hence widely used in industrial and residential applications. The use of brass to make various fittings provides a distinct look because of its yellow color. The advantages of brass for fittings include its good corrosive resistance, and also its plating, joining, polishing and finishing characteristics. Brass as a material is easily machined and hence can be given any shapes of the various types of fittings available.

Features of Brass Fittings: Brass fittings have certain unique features which make them highly demanded. Some of these properties are as follows:

Brass fittings are characterized by good strength.
These fittings have excellent high temperature ductility.
They have reasonable cold ductility.
Fittings made of brass have good conductivity.
They are excellent in corrosion resistance.
Brass fittings have good bearing properties.
They have low magnetic permeability.
