Fittings - Brass

Frequently Asked Questions

What are brass hose fittings used for??

Brass hose fittings are used to connect hoses to equipment, accessories, pipework or other components across a wide range of applications. They are commonly used where a durable and reliable connection is required for hose assemblies.

The correct fitting depends on the hose type, connection requirements and the intended application.

What brass specification are Winster Hose fittings manufactured from??

Winster Hose brass fittings are manufactured from CuZn39Pb3 brass, meeting the CW614N specification.

Material specification can be an important consideration for customers who require consistent material properties and traceability when selecting components for industrial and commercial applications.

Why choose brass hose fittings??

Brass fittings are a popular choice for many hose applications due to their established use, robust construction and suitability for a wide range of connection requirements.

The best fitting material depends on the specific application, and Winster Hose supplies both brass and plastic fitting options to allow resellers to offer the most appropriate solution.

Are brass fittings suitable for all hoses??

The correct fitting depends on the hose construction, hose size and intended application. It is important to select a fitting that is compatible with the hose to ensure a secure connection.

What sizes of brass hose fittings are available??

Winster Hose supplies brass fittings in a range of sizes to suit different hose applications. Available options depend on the individual product specification.

Resellers can use the product information provided to select suitable fittings for their customers’ requirements.

What is the difference between an auto-stop hose connector and a connector without stop??

An auto-stop hose connector incorporates a valve mechanism that automatically stops water flow when the connected accessory is removed. This can help reduce water loss and make changing attachments more convenient.

A connector without stop does not include this automatic shut-off feature, allowing water to continue flowing unless the supply is turned off elsewhere in the system.

The choice between an auto-stop and standard connector depends on the requirements of the application and customer preference. Resellers may choose to stock both options to provide customers with flexibility and a choice of connection solutions.

Can brass fittings be used outdoors??

Brass fittings are widely used in outdoor applications, although suitability depends on the specific environment and operating conditions.

The correct fitting should always be selected based on the requirements of the application.

How do I choose the correct brass hose fitting??

The correct brass hose fitting depends on factors including:

• hose size;
