It has male threads on one end and female threads on the other for connecting to a female and a male threaded pipe or fitting. This fitting is made from red brass for high strength, better corrosion resistance than stainless steel, and greater ease in machining than yellow brass.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries.
