Brass Socket

Product Description

Brass Sockets

A brass socket, also known as a coupling, is a straight pipe fitting used to connect two male-threaded pipes or fittings of the same size. These components provide a durable, streamlined connection for fluid or gas transport systems.

Technical Specifications

• Connection Type: Female-to-Female (Internal threads on both ends).

• Material: Heavy-duty forged or extruded brass for high tensile strength and longevity.

• Thread Standards: * NPT: Tapered threads for a pressure-tight seal.

  • BSP/BSPT: Common in international plumbing and hydraulic systems.

• Finish: Available in natural brass or chrome-plated for enhanced aesthetic and extra corrosion protection.

Common Applications

• Plumbing & Water Lines: Joining copper or brass pipes in residential and commercial water distribution.

• Instrumentation: Used in laboratory and industrial settings to connect sensors and gauges to process lines.

• Fuel & Gas Systems: Ideal for low-pressure gas lines due to the non-sparking nature of brass.

• Pneumatics: Connecting air hoses or cylinders in factory automation setups.

Product Highlights

• Full Flow Design: The straight-through interior ensures minimal pressure drop and maximum flow efficiency.

• Heat Tolerance: Brass maintains structural integrity across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for hot water systems.

• Precision Machining: Deep, clean threads prevent cross-threading and ensure a reliable, repeatable connection.

• Compact Footprint: The slim hexagonal or cylindrical body allows for installation in tight spaces where larger unions cannot fit.
