Brass Fittings

Brass as a material is easily machined and so can be given any shapes of the various types of fittings available.

 • Relative Softness of Metal Provides for a Tight Seal and Ease of Installation.

 • Brass provides a more solid platform (vs. plastics) to facilitate the flow of air and liquids.

Common Questions

What is a hexagon bush used for?

It screws into a larger female thread and gives a smaller female thread inside, so you can fit a smaller part such as a gauge or vent. The hex body takes a spanner for tightening.

How do I know which bush size I need?

Measure or check the female thread you are screwing into, then the thread of the part going into the bush. The bush is named larger first, smaller second.

Why would I pick a chrome bush?

Where it stays on show near taps or radiators, the chrome finish looks tidier than bare brass. It works the same as the plain brass version.
