Metal Pipe Fittings for Automotive and Aerospace Applications

India Fasteners offers metal pipe fittings in brass or carbon steel that is zinc plated with yellow dichromate. Many of the aerospace and automotive fittings we carry meet performance requirements specified in SAE J514, SAE J518, J1453 Style B Dovetail groove, SAE J1926/ISO 11926 and other related standards. Metal pipe fittings are offered in dash sizes of 02-32 to fit tubes ranging from 1/8” to 2” O.D. and we offer metric & BSPP adapters in dash sizes of 02-52.

Brass Fittings vs. Steel Fittings

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that is spark-proof and has germicidal and microbial properties. It is also conductive and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for plumbing and other heat-related applications. Steel fittings include stainless steel and zinc coated steel. These materials are strong, durable and perform well in hot or corrosive environments which makes them ideal for aerospace and other demanding applications.

Aerospace Fittings

Fittings are used to connect pipes, tubing and other components in aircrafts. Because these environments typically combine heat and corrosion, aerospace fittings must be made from materials such as steel that can withstand extreme environments. A few types of aerospace fittings include:

• Flareless connection fittings and nuts
