temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper,
brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The operating temperatures for
this fitting range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F). This
fitting meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) B584 and

Institute (ANSI) B16 specifications for quality assurance.Pipe fittings are
components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing
the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe
fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape,
size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded,
