Bronze Fittings – High Performance Bronze Pipe Fittings & Industrial Bronze Components
Our Bronze Fittings and copper components are engineered for reliability in electrical and plumbing systems. We provide turned, cast, and pressed parts such as cylinder gaskets, bushes, olives, bolts, nuts, washers, and other fittings as per customer requirements, ensuring flawless performance and finish.
Bronze Fittings are widely used in plumbing, marine, fire-fighting, oil & gas, and industrial piping systems due to their excellent corrosion resistance, pressure tightness, and durability. We are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of Bronze Fittings from India. We have been supplying Bronze Pipe Fittings to the world market for many decades. With over three decades of expertise in Bronze casting and machining, we produce high-quality threaded, flanged, and custom Bronze fittings conforming to international standards such as ASTM, BS, DIN, EN, IS, and JIS. Our in-house foundry and CNC machining facilities ensure precise dimensional accuracy, smooth threading, and superior metallurgical integrity. Bronze fittings are known for their resistance to dezincification, saltwater corrosion, and scaling, making them ideal for marine and potable water systems. We offer both standard catalog sizes and fully customized fittings as per drawings with a typical turnaround time of 4–6 weeks.
Overview of Bronze Fittings
Bronze fittings are pipe connectors manufactured from Copper-based alloys containing Tin, Zinc, and sometimes Lead or Nickel for improved mechanical properties. Compared to ordinary Brass fittings, Bronze Pipe Fittings offer higher strength, better wear resistance, and superior corrosion resistance in seawater and aggressive environments. They are suitable for threaded (BSP/NPT), socket weld, and flanged piping systems. Bronze fittings are widely preferred for applications requiring leak-proof performance and long service life. Their non-sparking characteristics also make them suitable for hazardous environments. Bronze fittings maintain dimensional stability under temperature variations and moderate pressures. We manufacture Bronze elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, nipples, bushings, unions, and flanges for global OEMs.
Material Grades & International Standards
We manufacture Bronze fittings in multiple alloys as per global specifications:
| Standard | Grade / Alloy | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM | C83600 | Leaded Red Bronze |
| ASTM | C84400 | Bronze Alloy |
| BS | LG2 (BS 1400) | Gunmetal |
| EN | CC491K | European Bronze |
| DIN | CuSn5Zn5Pb5-C | German Equivalent |
| IS | IS 318 LTB2 | Indian Bronze |
| JIS | BC6 | Japanese Bronze |
| GB (China) | ZCuSn5Zn5Pb5 | Chinese Bronze |
These materials ensure compatibility across USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, and Asian markets.
Manufacturing Process of Bronze Fittings
Bronze fittings are primarily produced through Sand Casting, Shell Moulding, or Investment Casting depending on design complexity. The process includes pattern making, mould preparation, melting in induction furnaces, controlled pouring, solidification, fettling, machining, threading, pressure testing, and final inspection. CNC lathes and tapping machines ensure precise BSP, NPT, and metric threads. Hydrostatic pressure testing verifies leak-tight integrity. Surface finishes include natural Bronze, shot blasted, machined, Nickel plated, Tin coated, or epoxy coated as required. Each batch undergoes spectrometer-based chemical analysis and dimensional inspection using Vernier, micrometers, and CMM machines.
Typical Types of Bronze Pipe Fittings
Bronze fittings are manufactured in the following configurations:
90° Elbow
45° Elbow
