Precision Brass Fittings & Machined Components
Precision Brass Fittings & Machined Components
One of the most common part types we see in our shop falls under the category of fittings. These kinds of parts are typically used to connect two or more pieces of material to help with the transfer of various substances. Most fittings are made to connect materials that are not alike, attaching different materials, different sizes, different shapes, or different directions of flow. As a leading brass nipple fittings manufacturer, Ashley Ward is equipped to help you with all your needs.
Custom Hydraulic Brass Fittings
A client from the hydraulics industry contacted Ashley Ward to manufacture a series of custom hydraulic brass fittings. These fittings allow for quick connection and disconnection of hydraulic lines. Using our premium Acme Gridley machines, we were able to maintain a tight tolerance of just (±) .002 of an inch, which allowed us to meet precise customer design specifications.
