Brass Hex Sockets

Need threaded sockets that adapt to varied systems without locking you into fixed specs? Our Brass Hex Sockets support NPT, BSPT, BSPP, and metric threading with optional hex size, wall thickness, and sealing features.

Thread Size

#6-32 to 2″ (Metric: M4 to M50)

Thread Type

NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric (Internal/External)

Thread Pitch

UNC, UNF, Metric (e.g., 1/2″-13 UNC, M12x1.75) – Custom pitches available

Material Grade

C36000 (Free-Cutting Brass), CW617N (EN), C37700 (High-Strength)

Pressure Rating

200 PSI – 1000 PSI (13.8 – 69 bar) (size/wall-dependent)

Product Description

Getting mismatched threads or limited pressure range leads to costly downtime. We offer brass grades, custom lengths, and internal bores that match your exact assembly plan.

Temperature Range

-65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C) (non-flammable fluids)

Overall Length

0.3″ – 3″ (custom lengths for deep socket applications)

Hex Size

0.19″ – 1.5″ (e.g., 1/4″ NPT: 7/16″ Hex)

Internal Flow Diameter

0.1″ – 1.75″ (precision-bored for smooth flow)

External Diameter

0.25″ – 2.25″ (varies with thread size)

Thread Engagement Length

0.2″ – 1.5″ (taper-dependent; extended for high-pressure seals)

Finish/Coating

Natural Brass, Electroless Nickel (ENP), Chrome, Anti-Galvanic Coating

Standards Compliance

ASME B1.20.1, ISO 228, DIN 7604, ANSI B16.11, ASTM B16

Weight

0.02 lb – 2 lb (size/material-dependent)

Wall Thickness

0.08″ – 0.35″ (reinforced for hydraulic/pneumatic use)

Manufacturing Process

CNC Machined (C36000), Hot Forged (C37700), Precision Cast (CW617N)

Technical Advantages

Our brass hex sockets cover thread sizes from #6-32 to 2 inches and M4 to M50 with taper or parallel options. Pressure ratings span from 200 PSI to 1000 PSI, depending on wall section and diameter. We offer finishes including electroless nickel and chrome for corrosive fluids or visible external fittings. Each socket undergoes thread engagement control and hex tolerance checks for tool-fit accuracy.

Industry Applications

Hydraulic Control Systems

Secures fittings in compact manifolds, maintaining sealed connections under variable pressure.

Pneumatic Equipment

Serves as thread-safe terminations in aluminum housings, supporting leak-free quick-connect setups.

Water Filtration Units

Acts as inlet or outlet ports, resisting corrosion in chlorinated or mineral-rich flows.

Gas-Fired Boilers

Withstands thermal cycling in burner assemblies, ensuring tight seal with PTFE tapes or anaerobic compounds.

Refrigeration Systems

Connects copper or brass lines, providing stable joins in compressor and evaporator circuits.

Off-Road Vehicles

Fits threaded pressure sensors or drain plugs in rugged chassis applications where vibrations are frequent.

Fit Without Compromise

Every system brings its own limits on length, thread type, or tool clearance. We support internal flow diameters from 0.1 to 1.75 inches and wall thickness up to 0.35 inch, giving you control over flow and seal conditions.

Your application might demand custom thread pitches or extended engagement lengths, our CNC and hot forging routes accommodate both. Whether you need ten variants or ten thousand, we maintain dimensional consistency across every unit.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Can you match hex sizes to fit our tool sets and assembly lines?

Yes, we can match hex flats from 0.19 inch to 1.5 inch to suit your spanner or wrench specs. You can also request tolerance-controlled fits to avoid tool slippage during torque. We adjust the forging or machining route based on your tool compatibility.

Do you support mixed thread types across the same order batch?

Yes, we can supply NPT, BSPT, BSPP, and metric threads in a combined order as long as specs are shared up front. This avoids sourcing from multiple vendors for different builds. Each thread type follows its respective profile with controlled pitch depth.

Can we get extended thread lengths for deeper port applications?

Yes, we offer engagement lengths from 0.2 inch up to 1.5 inch, ideal for thicker housings or deep pressure cavities. We account for taper requirements or sealing depths in the initial machining stage. That way, no post-machining is required at your end.

Do you offer internal flow adjustments for restricted-space systems?

Yes, we can control internal diameters from 0.1 to 1.75 inch based on flow or viscosity needs. If needed, we can bore tight or stepped channels without disrupting wall strength. That allows you to avoid separate reducers or adapters in your circuit.

Can the sockets withstand corrosive fluids or exposed outdoor use?

Yes, we offer electroless nickel and chrome finishes for chemical resistance or visible assemblies. You can also request anti-galvanic coating when mating with aluminum or steel parts. These finishes extend socket life without altering dimensions or threads.
