Brass is an excellent material for applications requiring high pressure or temperature ratings. Brass is a robust and sturdy material that is less costly than steel and works well for ball valves, gate valves, and check valves. All three types are available in a variety of sizes. Each variety includes threaded ends, making it the most convenient to install metal valves. For the best installation results, we recommend using a lubricant or pipe thread solution. Lesso brass valves are a cost-effective option, particularly for non-chemical applications that do not require the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. A well-installed and well-operated brass valve will survive for many years. Cast brass is used to make our high-quality valves. That is, the body is created as a single piece from molten brass and a valve mould. After that, the handle and stopper are fitted to provide on/off or regulating functions.
Ball valves and gate valves are best utilized for on and off operations. Because of the strain it might exert on the valve, using this sort of valve to regulate flow is not recommended. Check valves, on the other hand, are used to permit flow at all times - but only in one direction. As long as the pressure differential is fulfilled, liquid is permitted to travel through the valve. Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper, zinc, and additional elements. In comparison to plastic valves, it is able to resist corrosion quite well due to its nature as a soft metal. Brass is also more heat resistant than plastic, making brass valves an excellent choice for in-home plumbing systems.

How does a brass valve work?

Brass instrument valves are valves that modify the length of a brass instrument's tubing, allowing the player to access notes in different harmonic series. When a valve is squeezed, the air stream is diverted via extra tubing, either independently or in concert with other valves.

Lesso Brass Ball Valves

Brass ball valves are ideal for adding on/off functionality to a high pressure pipe system. Lesso brass ball valves are full port, which means they do not limit flow while open/on. Choose between 12" and 2" IPS, as well as your connection type.
Full Port Brass Ball Valves at a Low Cost

Ball valves provide a means of starting and stopping flow in a pipe system. They have an easy-turn handle on the outside and a revolving ball mechanism on the inside. This ball has a central aperture that can be adjusted to line up with the pipe flow or perpendicular to the flow (turning it off). Brass ball valves are a low-cost technique to achieve a high-pressure valve. See our stainless steel ball full port ball valves for a higher quality valve. Both include a blow-out resistant stem as well as high-quality seats and seals.

Lesso Brass Gate Valves

Shutoff valves are the most typical use for gate valves. That is, they are ideal for applications that demand a quick on/off function as well as a dependable seal. They have a bidirectional function, which means they can stop flow in either direction. Brass gate valves can withstand pressures of up to 200 psi.

There are two types of stems for gate valves. There are two types of stems: rising stems and non-rising stems. When the valve handle is turned to the open position, a rising stem will physically rise. This provides a quick indicator of the valve position, although it is not always possible in tight spaces. Their brass gate valves have a stem that does not rise. This implies that the handle remains at the same height when turned on and off. This is the optimum valve for situations that demand a small valve.

Lesso Brass Check Valves

Lesso brass valves are the best brands in the market. Because of their extensive ties, they frequently outperform big-box shop pricing. Their brass check valves are small and have no control handle. The real liquid flow inside the pipe system operates check valves. To prevent backflow in a pipeline, brass check valves are fitted. Online, you may go through their check valve inventory.
