Merit Brass 6" Brass 90° Elbow Lead-Free

Brass is an alloy made up of copper and zinc and it is a non-ferrous metal. Merit’s offering consists of red brass meaning its appearance has a hint of red, and yellow brass which looks golden. A popular yellow brass is alloy 272 which contains 37% zinc and 62-65% copper. Comparatively, red brass are alloys that have substantially lower zinc content and higher copper content. Several refer to red brass as bronze; however, adding tin to a red brass melt is essentially what makes up bronze.  ASTM B584/NSF
