Red Brass Pipe

Properties Originally used chiefly for making cannons and guns and is often reffered to as “Gunmetal”. Particulalry resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water. Brass pipe on hot-water lines does not color water red as steel pipe often does.  Lead was traditionally added to plumbing brasses to improve machinability and ensure pressure tightness. In the 1990s the EPA dramatically limited the amount of allowable lead in the drinking water delivery system  A combination of bismuth and selenium proved an effective substitute and the new  “Optimized” red brasses can now be used by all foundries without restriction.
