Brass tubing is the one of the most widely used applications of brass in the world. Foundries use brass tubing for faucets and hardware items, plus a variety of marine and industrial equipment. Brass is easy to cut and shape. About a half a million tons of brass tubing is consumed in the U.S. each year.

Brass pipe is moderately resistant to many corrosive solutions. Brass is also antimicrobial, meaning it is an agent that destroys microorganisms that might carry disease.

Brass tubing manufacturers and distributors provide brass tubing to satisfy the needs of many types of businesses:

1. Automotive and trucking companies;

2. Industrial cleaners;

3. Original equipment manufacturers;

4. Electronics manufacturers; and,

5. Refrigeration manufacturers and repair shops.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy industrial brass tubing from manufacturers


Brass tubing manufacturers develop products that can be used to fill the needs of businesses for use in items such as refrigeration products, radiator cores, clocks, watches, fire extinguishers and water pipes. Some brass tubing manufacturers offer to custom design brass tubes to meet the needs of your business.

I recommend: You can find different sizes of leaded and red brass tubing at Continental Steel & Tube Company, a specialty metal product provider. Brass tubing suppliers like Production Tube Cutting and Universal Tube will shape brass tubes to meet your specifications.

Brass tubing distributors offer many sizes and shapes of ready-made tubing


Brass tubing supply companies simplify shopping by offering online catalogs that allow you to compare products and find the best quality for the lowest price. Look out for the bottom line while protecting your clients and reputation.

I recommend: Visit Rotax Metals Inc. or the Integrated Nonferrous Metals Company to choose from different sizes and shapes of brass tubing. As a business owner, you may want to use brass tubing as a decorating accent. Rockler Woodworking and Hardware and BuyRailings offer brass tubes and connectors to help you do this whether you need to detail a bar or install safety rails.

Buy ready-made or work with a manufacturer to create customized brass tube fittings


Brass tube fittings may be purchased from stock supplies or can be specially designed. Sometimes all you need to do is sit down with the manufacturer, draw a diagram and explain your needs.

I recommend: Find a wide assortment of brass tube fittings at Anderson Metals Corporation. If you need a customized brass tube fitting, check out Mid-America Fittings. They regularly create custom products for a variety of businesses such as refrigeration, HVAC, trucking, electronics, industrial cleaning and plumbing.
