    C23000 Red Brass
    ASTM B134, ASTM B135, ASTM B43

    Most durable of all metals for commercial water pipe in the practical price range. Excellent for its resistance to dezincification and season cracking for which the high copper brasses are known. Moderate strength and good retention of spring properties. Specified for underground service lines since it offers greatest corrosion resistance to all types of potable waters. Applications include costume jewelry, fire hose couplings, zippers, condenser and heat exchanger tubes. Popular as an outdoor metal and has found for itself a very important place in modern architecture. Also known as Nordic Brass.

    Typical Uses for C23000 Red Brass:
    • ARCHITECTURE: Etching Parts, Weather Strip, Trim
    • ELECTRICAL: Sockets, Screw Shells, Conduit, Rotor Bars, AC Motors
    • FASTENERS: Fasteners, Eyelets
    • INDUSTRIAL: Heat Exchanger Shells, Flexible Metal Hose, Pump Cylinder Liners, Tags, Radiator Cores, Pickling Crates, Condenser Tubes, Fire Extinguishers, Tubing for Instrumentation, Tubing for Heat Exchangers, Heat Exchangers
    • BUILDERS HARDWARE: Kick Plates
    • PLUMBING: Fittings, Pump Lines, Pipe Service Lines, Pipe Nipples, Pipe, Service Lines, J-Bends, Traps
    • OTHER: Fire Hose Couplings
