Brass Pipe Fittings

Brass pipe fittings are the everyday standard for pressure washer plumbing. Brass resists corrosion, threads smoothly, and seals well, which makes it a dependable choice for water lines on cold and hot water machines.

How to Choose

Start with the thread size and type, then choose the fitting shape you need, such as an elbow, tee, nipple, coupler, or bushing. Brass suits standard water plumbing well. For heavy chemical exposure or saltwater, stainless steel is the longer-lasting upgrade. Confirm each fitting is rated at or above your machine's maximum PSI.

Common Applications

• Pump discharge and inlet plumbing
• Unloader and manifold builds
• Hot water and burner supply lines
• General repairs and rebuilds

Frequently Asked Questions

Is brass good for hot water machines?
Yes. Brass handles the heat of a hot water pressure washer well and is widely used on burner and discharge plumbing.

When should I choose stainless over brass?
Choose stainless steel for strong chemicals, saltwater, or coastal air. For plain water service, brass performs well and costs less.

Do I need thread sealant on brass fittings?
Yes. Use thread sealant tape or paste on tapered pipe threads to get a leak-free joint.
