Brass fittings
Corrosion resistant brass elbows, tees, nipples, sockets, reducers, hose tails and plugs for light and medium duty lines.
In water, air and gas piping the fitting material determines the life of the line; brass is corrosion resistant and easy to machine, which makes it the first choice for light and medium duty lines. We supply the complete installation in one go, with valves, fittings and hose tails. We ship brass fittings from stock across Türkiye and abroad, and also sell them through hidroticaret.com, our online store (Turkish).
Types
Elbows and tees
Fittings that turn and branch the line; with male and female ends.
Nipples and sockets
A nipple joins two female ends, a socket joins two male ends.
Reducers
Transition between different sizes.
Hose tails
Hose barb fittings that adapt a hose to a threaded connection and are secured with a clamp.
Plugs and caps
Close off unused ports.
How to select
Brass fittings are used on water, air and gas lines at light and medium pressure; they are not used on hydraulic pressure lines. The thread type is mostly BSP; whether it is tapered or parallel determines how the joint is sealed.
In material selection the fluid and the environment are decisive. The table below compares brass, stainless steel and galvanized fittings.
When dissimilar metals (for example brass and galvanized steel) are joined directly in a damp environment, galvanic corrosion can occur; for a long lasting installation the same material or an insulating fitting in between is preferred.
Comparison of fitting materials
| Material | Suitable for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Brass | Water, air, gas (approved types), light and medium pressure | Not used on hydraulic pressure lines |
| Stainless steel | Food, chemicals, seawater, high temperature | Higher cost |
| Galvanized steel | Water and air, economical installations | Rusts over time in damp environments |
Frequently asked questions
Can brass fittings be used on hydraulic lines?
No. Steel fittings are used on hydraulic pressure lines; brass is for water, air and gas lines.
Can brass and galvanized fittings be used on the same line?
In a damp environment galvanic corrosion can occur between the two metals; for long life the same material or an insulating fitting is recommended.
How are pipe threads sealed?
With tape or liquid thread sealant on tapered threads, and with a sealing washer on parallel threads.
How do I select the hose tail size?
According to the inside diameter of the hose and the thread it connects to. Just tell us both.
