With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. 260 brass is sometimes called cartridge brass. This wire has a soft temper and stays in place when bent.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

When you're unsure of the exact thread type you need, these fittings have universal threads that are compatible with the most common ones (NPT, NPTF, BSPP, BSPT).

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Keep various lengths of brass pipe on hand for applications requiring good corrosion resistance.
