Your Guide to Brass Inserts

• You would have to be living under a rock to not
  know what inserts are. If you think you dont
  know what these are, think again, you might have
  seen plenty of inserts in your life but you just
  might not know what these are called. Inserts are
  the teeny tiny components that are used in
  electrical, plumbing, and furnishing fittings.
• Depending on the type of fitting, the role of
  inserts vary. For example, in an electrical
  fitting, inserts might be used to separate
  different types of wires. In furnishing fittings,
  inserts are used to tighten screws and nuts in
  furniture. This blog is dedicated to brass
  inserts manufacturers and would try to provide
  all the information on them.

Types of Brass Inserts

• Like all other fittings, inserts are also
  available in different sizes, designs, finish,
  etc. The variety offered by manufacturers in
  different countries might vary depending on the
  countrys regulations or on the types of
  requirements. Besides, consumers often turn to
  other countries like India for their brass insert
  needs because of established and experience
  manufacturing units here.
• It would not be possible to list all the sizes
  and variants of brass inserts. Therefore, I am
  only mentioning the common varieties that are
  pretty broad. These include the following
• Male and female inserts
• Threaded and non-threaded inserts
• Polished and unpolished inserts

• Each of these varieties are further subdivided
  according to the size.
• So, for example, if you are looking for inserts
  for a roto machine, then a manufacturer can offer
  threaded inserts of the required dimension.
• Further, the detailing on the inserts can vary
  according to your need as well. There is
  practically no limits to the type of
  customization you can get in brass variants.

Comparison with Alternatives

• The most popular alternative to a brass insert is
  a steel insert. The primary difference is that
  brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and steel is
  an alloy of iron and carbon. Both steel and brass
  have properties that make them ideal from
  inserts. So, why should you choose brass. The
  answer to this will vary depending on your
  requirement.
• The inserts made out of steel are not as durable
  as those made out of brass. Additionally, unless
  you use stainless steel, steel inserts would not
  be prone to rust. Whereas, brass is known to have
  anti-corrosive properties and is widely used in
  plumbing fittings as well. If you opt for
  stainless steel variant, the cost would go up and
  you would not have many manufacturers offering
  inserts. In comparison, brass inserts are
  cost-effective and gives plenty of manufacturers
  to choose from.

• Finally, the properties of brass, the available
  varieties, competitive market and thus the
  pricing, are just some of the contributing
  factors to the popularity of brass inserts.
