Bronze Fittings
Bronze pipe and tube fittings in cast and valve bronze, aluminum bronze, NAB, manganese and lead-free grades.
Overview
Bronze fittings join, redirect and terminate pipe and tube runs in water, steam, marine and general fluid-handling systems. Material choice matters as much as shape: C83600 and C84400 cover general-purpose fittings, C92200 serves steam and valve duty, aluminum bronzes and nickel-aluminum bronze serve higher-strength and marine duty, and C89833 is a lead-free option.
The eight fitting-type pages describe the connection styles (silver brazing, threaded, solder joint, cast, flared, marine, compression and custom). Not every grade is available in every fitting type or size – configurations are confirmed per inquiry.
Grades and product combinations
Each combination has its own detail page with material notes, inquiry form and related grades.

Only fitting types technically appropriate to the material, application and manufacturing method are offered. Sizes, thread forms and ratings are confirmed with the company.
Selection considerations
- Define the connection type (threaded, solder, braze, flared, compression) before selecting a material.
- State the fluid, temperature and pressure so suitability can be reviewed – no ratings are published here.
- Lead restrictions: C83600, C84400 and C92200 contain lead; C89833 is a lead-free option subject to verification.
- Specify the governing standard or provide a drawing.
Typical applications
- Water, steam and condensate systems
- Marine and sea-water piping (grade dependent)
- Pump and valve connections
- Heating and process equipment
- General industrial fluid handling
Application areas are examples only. Grade suitability must be confirmed for the actual operating environment.
