  • High Pressure/Temp: Capable of handling up to 3,000–6,000 PSI and temperatures exceeding 1,000°F.
• Brass:
  • Ductility: Easier to machine and provides a tighter seal for water, oil, and gas.
  • Lead-Free Compliance: In 2025, most brass connectors are NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water safety.
