Brass fitting is a type of plumbing or piping component made from brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass fittings are used to connect, redirect, or terminate pipes and hoses in various plumbing, heating, and industrial applications.

Material: Brass is chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures. This makes brass fittings suitable for a wide range of applications, including water, gas, and steam systems.

Types: There are various types of brass fittings, including:
Elbows: Used to change the direction of a pipe (e.g., 90-degree or 45-degree angles).
Tees: Used to create a branch in a piping system, allowing for three connections.
Couplings: Used to connect two pieces of pipe or hose together.
Adapters: Used to connect pipes of different sizes or materials.
Caps and Plugs: Used to seal the end of a pipe or fitting.

Applications: Brass fittings are commonly used in:
Plumbing systems (water supply and drainage)
HVAC systems
Gas lines
Industrial applications
Installation: Brass fittings can be threaded, soldered, or crimped onto pipes, depending on the specific design and application. Proper installation is crucial to ensure leak-free connections.

Maintenance: Brass fittings generally require minimal maintenance, but it’s important to check for leaks and corrosion over time, especially in systems exposed to moisture or harsh conditions.
