Specialityvalve is one of the largest Brass Valve Manufacturer in India. A brass valve is a copper and zinc alloy. Brass valves are more versatile and malleable than bronze and they are made through casting, heat extrusion, forging, and cold drawing. It is corrosion-resistant but extends exposure to chlorine or water which breaks down the zinc in the metal. Brass valves are made of natural gas and potable water applications. The material naturally has a smooth finish that can save on finishing costs.
It can be used in a wide range of applications. When it comes to potable water applications no-lead brass is a great option unless that water has corrosive properties. The cost of no-lead brass and other materials like stainless which has also no lead have become more possible options.
Brass valves are used in residential and commercial plumbing, water well, HVAC, and many other applications. If there are no high corrosive properties in what is going through the valves generally brass is a great material to utilize.
Brass valves are so popular because it is easy to work with the brass material which is softer than stainless steel and the products used for sealing them are very readily available. When sealing, another type of metal you often need a specific pipe tape or thread sealant.
