Why Brass Fittings Manufacturers Suggest
Hospitals To Use Their Products?
A study claims the metal brass destroys the
harmful bacteria and prevents their growth and
spreading by touch or fingertip contamination.
With introduction of brass taps and fittings,
hospitals and clinics can wipe out the winter
vomiting bug. This is why manufacturing units of
brass fittings are recommending hospitals to
install these fittings to provide bacteria free
environment to the patients.

There is no treatment or vaccine to protect from
winter vomiting bug, and outbreaks need expensive
cleaning, with lost working days when nurses and
other staff members get infected and this is
added to the burden.

But the use of antimicrobial surfaces containing
copper in clinical and community environments,
like care facilities, could help in reducing the
spread of extremely infectious pathogen. This
virus can be contracted from contaminated water
or food, physical contact with contaminated
surfaces and persons. However, if the surfaces
are of copper or brass, it could effectively shut
down the spreading of bacteria.

Copper alloys effectively fight against a range
of fungi and bacteria. Although brass offers a
constant killing surface, but there is a
responsibility of cleaning staff to use
disinfection liquids to clean the surface. Virus
can remain infectious on solid surfaces and is
ineffective to several cleaning solutions. This
means the virus can spread to people who touch
these surfaces, which later helps virus to grow
and spread and maintain its cycle. But you can
stop this by installing copper or brass fittings
like door knobs and handles, water taps, and
brass door handles. These are the things
constantly accessed by people.

Almost 50 years ago, hospitals were using brass
fittings that are now replaced with stainless
steel fittings. May be this could be a reason
behind soar infections at hospitals. Manufacturer
s of brass pipe fittings recommend hospitals and
clinics to install brass and copper based
fittings to avoid such infections and fight
against virus and bacteria that are highly
infectious. Manufacturers are offering a range of
fittings including pneumatic, brass nipple
fittings, plumbing fittings, fasteners, etc.
