Standard production turnaround time is 4–6 weeks, depending on size and quantity.
Overview of Brass Threaded Fittings
Brass Threaded Fittings are connectors used to join pipes or tubes with threaded ends. These fittings allow easy installation, removal, and maintenance without the need for welding. Brass threaded fittings are typically produced with internal or external threads compatible with BSP, BSPT, NPT, or metric thread standards. Because Brass contains Copper and Zinc, the alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance in water systems and superior machinability compared with Stainless Steel or Bronze alternatives. Brass threaded fittings provide reliable sealing performance, resistance to scaling, and good mechanical strength. They are commonly used in plumbing systems, compressed air pipelines, irrigation systems, hydraulic lines, and industrial machinery. Due to their non-sparking nature and thermal conductivity, Brass fittings are also suitable for gas distribution and fuel handling applications.
Types of Brass Threaded Fittings
Brass threaded fittings are available in a wide range of configurations designed for different piping layouts and flow requirements.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Brass Elbow (90° / 45°) | Changes pipe direction |
| Brass Tee | Branch connection |
| Brass Coupling | Joins two pipes |
| Brass Reducer | Connects different pipe sizes |
| Brass Bushing | Reduces internal thread size |
| Brass Union | Allows easy disassembly |
| Brass Nipple | Short pipe connector |
| Brass Plug / Cap | Closes pipe ends |
These fittings are manufactured with male threads, female threads, or a combination of both depending on application requirements.

These materials ensure compatibility with global piping systems and OEM requirements.
Manufacturing Process of Brass Threaded Fittings
Brass threaded fittings are typically produced through hot forging, bar machining, or casting followed by precision machining operations. Brass rods or billets are cut to size and processed using CNC turning centers and multi-spindle automatic machines. Threading operations are performed using tapping machines and thread rolling equipment to achieve accurate BSP, BSPT, and NPT threads. After machining, fittings undergo deburring, polishing, and cleaning. Surface finishes such as natural Brass, Nickel plating, Chrome plating, or Tin coating are available depending on application requirements. Each batch undergoes dimensional inspection, thread gauge testing, and hydrostatic pressure testing to ensure leak-free performance. Our manufacturing process ensures consistent quality and tight tolerances up to ±0.05 mm depending on part geometry.

Physical & Mechanical Properties of Brass (Typical)
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Density | 8.4 – 8.7 g/cm³ |
| Tensile Strength | 300 – 500 MPa |
| Yield Strength | 100 – 250 MPa |
| Hardness | 80 – 150 HB |
| Melting Range | 900 – 940°C |
| Thermal Conductivity | High |
These properties make Brass suitable for machining complex threaded components with excellent durability.
Machinery Used in Production
The manufacturing of Brass threaded fittings involves advanced machinery such as CNC turning centers, automatic screw machines, forging presses, tapping machines, thread rolling machines, polishing machines, and CMM inspection systems. Induction furnaces may be used for Brass melting when cast components are required. These machines ensure repeatable accuracy and high production efficiency.
Industries Using Brass Threaded Fittings
Brass threaded fittings are widely used in plumbing systems, water distribution pipelines, HVAC installations, gas pipelines, fire protection systems, compressed air networks, irrigation equipment, hydraulic machinery, and industrial fluid control systems.
