What Is The 2 X 10 Red Brass Nipple Used For?

A 2 x 10 red brass nipple is a type of fitting used to connect two pipes or hoses together. It consists of a short piece of pipe with male threads on both ends. This fitting is often used in applications where a regular coupling would not be able to provide a secure connection, such as in high-pressure situations. 2 x 10 red brass type nipples are also often used in hydraulic systems. In truth, the applications for this unique kind of connector are virtually endless. When Considering the Sa (...) Read More

What Are Brass Compression Fittings for Plastic Tubing Used For?

Brass compression fittings for plastic tubing are used in a variety of applications where a watertight seal is required. Commonly used in plumbing and automotive applications, they provide a reliable way to connect two pieces of tubing together without the need for soldering or welding.  Compression type fittings work by using a ferrule (or sleeve) which is compressed onto the tubing when the fitting is tightened. This creates a watertight seal that is ideal for both low and high-pressure a (...) Read More

Discover the Benefits of Bar Stock Fittings

Bar stock fittings are a type of pipe fitting that is made from bar stock, which is a length of material that has been cut to a specific width and thickness. These unique fittings are typically used in applications where there is a need for a stronger connection than what can be made with standard fittings. Bar stock type fittings are also often used in situations where there is high pressure or extreme temperatures. These reliable and durable long-lasting fittings can be used in a variety of ap (...)

Exploring Options with Brass Dot Air Fittings

Brass dot air fittings are a type of quick connect fitting that is commonly used in pneumatic applications. The brass dot type of fitting consists of two parts: the body and the sleeve. The body is brass with a series of ridges, or "dots", machined into it. The sleeve is also brass and has a similar series of ridges. To connect the two parts, the sleeve is slid over the body until the dots line up. Once aligned, the two parts are locked together by tightening a set screw. This forms a secure con (...) Read More

Discover The Utility of Brass Compression Needle Valves

Brass compression needle valves are used to control the flow of liquids and gases. They work by using a brass needle to compress a seal, which then controls the flow of fluid. Brass compression type valves are often used in applications where precision is important, such as in medical devices or in laboratory equipment. These unique needle valves are made by first machining a brass body to the desired shape. A hole is then drilled through the center of the body and a brass rod is inserted. The r (...) Read More
