Applications
Brass ASTM B584 C89570 is used for faucets, potable-water valve bodies and other plumbing components. Other cast components used in this material family include fittings, pump-related parts, shaped connections and hardware and enclosure components. Applications include plumbing, water-handling equipment, building services and industrial fluid-control assemblies.
A plumbing use does not itself establish drinking-water certification or a finished component pressure rating.
