Brass Fittings

<h3>About Brass Fittings</h3><p>When a connection needs to hold — whether in a plumbing system, an engine bay, a fuel line, or a marine application — the material and craftsmanship of the fitting matter enormously. Brass Fittings has built its reputation on exactly that principle: delivering precision-engineered components made from high-quality brass and bronze alloys that stand up to pressure, vibration, and corrosion over the long haul.</p><p>Rooted in the manufacturing tradition of Jamnagar, India — a region recognized globally as a hub for world-class brass component production — and distributed through the established network of Midland Industries, this brand brings together old-world metallurgical expertise and modern machining precision. The result is a broad catalog of fittings, adapters, and accessories trusted by professionals across automotive, industrial, marine, and residential applications.</p><h3>Why Brass and Bronze?</h3><p>Brass and bronze alloys offer a compelling combination of properties that make them ideal for fluid and gas handling systems. They resist corrosion far better than plain steel, machine cleanly to tight tolerances, and create leak-free seals when properly installed. Unlike plastic alternatives, brass and bronze fittings can handle elevated temperatures and higher working pressures, making them the preferred choice in demanding environments.</p><p>At the heart of the Brass Fittings lineup are the brand&apos;s <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-brass-bronze-pipe-hose-fittings-200203">Brass &amp; Bronze Pipe &amp; Hose Fittings</a> — a comprehensive assortment of elbows, tees, couplings, nipples, crosses, adapters, and barbed connectors. Whether you&apos;re routing coolant lines, building a fuel system, or plumbing a compressor, these fittings offer the dimensional consistency and thread quality needed to ensure a proper seal every time.</p><h3>A Complete Fittings Solution</h3><p>Beyond the core brass and bronze lineup, the catalog extends into <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-pipe-fitting-17358">Pipe Fittings</a> that cover a wide range of thread types, configurations, and material grades — giving technicians and builders the flexibility to tackle both standard and specialized installations. From straight pipe nipples to reducing bushings and hex plugs, these components are the backbone of any fluid-routing system.</p><p>No fitting installation is complete without a proper seal on the threads. Brass Fittings addresses this with <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-thread-sealant-tape-17329">Thread Sealant Tape</a> — the go-to solution for creating leak-tight connections on tapered pipe threads. Using the right thread sealant alongside quality brass fittings is a small step that makes a significant difference in long-term reliability.</p><p>Rounding out the lineup are <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-nylon-pipe-to-hose-adapters-200725">Nylon Pipe to Hose Adapters</a>, which bridge the gap between rigid pipe systems and flexible hose runs. These lightweight, corrosion-resistant adapters are particularly useful in applications where dissimilar materials need to be joined cleanly and securely.</p><h3>Built for Professionals and DIYers Alike</h3><p>Whether you&apos;re a professional mechanic, a marine technician, an HVAC installer, or a dedicated DIYer, the Brass Fittings catalog offers the components needed to do the job right. The combination of proven alloy materials, precise machining, and a broad range of configurations makes this brand a reliable one-stop resource for connection hardware across virtually any system.</p>

  • 5-inch overall length for extended reach applications
  • Suitable for air, gas, oil, and non-potable water systems

Shipping not best

great price and easy to order

sell my email!

I received excellent customer service from Autoplicity. I emailed them a question about my order and received an answer within an hour or so. I was very happy with this company

It was good.

The product came at the very last minute. So we had to do something different plus the &quot;return&quot; directions on the website were not clear, i.e. the return process is not easily executed.

Autoplicity won my loyalty as a customer on two separate counts. Firstly, I am always researching the web for the lowest possible price on an item even while I am in the process of actually ordering it. I had filled in all of my info on their order page and had competed almost everything required concerning making this order. All that was left to do was my clicking of the final 'link' actually confirming the order. At this point I totally stopped and looked elsewhere on the web. A couple of hours later I came back to my computer and was surprised to see an email from Autoplicity asking me why I hadn't fully completed my order and offering me 3% off the purchase price if I would complete it. I immediately finished and submitted the order without hesitation. Secondly, a day or so after I had made the order, I received another email from Autoplicity offering me an additional $5.00 rebate if I wrote a review of my experience with them. Do you think they really want me as a customer? YOU BET!! I like companies that do business like this. They know how to make and keep loyal customers.

I was able to find the lowest price on my 4x4 truck battery with free shipping! Beat everybody else by25.

I like that I could use my Amazon account.

Hassle free. You should differentiate between shipping and billing address.

Great place to shop online. The best price on the internet and super fast delivery. Shop with Autoplicity, highly recommended.

The prices were affordable and of good quality,I will order from them Autoplicity again.
