"Where do you use compression versus flare fittings?"
We prefer flare with soft tubing over 3/8"od in size and compression fittings
on all hard copper and soft tubing 3/8"od and smaller.
Don't use compression fittings on gas connections at all as most codes do
not allow it nor do we recommend it.
"Can you provide me with a quote on other brass fittings besides the ones listed above?"
Sorry but what we show is what we carry/offer/stock. We do not quote prices on flare fittings that we do not stock.
"Since these are brass fittings do they contain lead?"
Most of these fittings do contain a very small amount of lead. Consider that for many years copper fittings and pipe
were soldered together with 50% lead and now little lead may be used by law. Same with these brass fittings. There
is a small amount of lead in them. The more acidic the water, the more tends to leach out. Should you be concerned?
Some would argue that any amount is bad, and they would not use it for potable water. Others argue that plastics
will be the new "asbestos" of the future. We don't know, and we cannot recommend these fittings for potable water; but we
can say that we ourselves drink our own water from and through these fittings.
"What is the flare degree of the flare fittings you offer?"
The fittings we offer are SAE 45° flare with the exception of the 15/16-16. The 15/16-16 are 45° flare, but are not SAE fittings.
