Re: T&T: Bronze Nipples

[Rich Losch]

Check the Marine Hardware Catalog

I've purchased replacement sea strainer caps, bronze nipples and valves
from them to make flush-out fittings for my boat and others. I believe
they cast their own bronze nipples as well as all of their other bronze
components either here in Washington or in Taiwan. They're proud of
them, but the prices seem fair and they gladly mail-order, even small
orders.

Bronze used is noted as "85-5-5-5 naval bronze"

Sorry I'm late on this, as I get the daily digest. No affiliation with
Marine Hardware.

>From a document found via Google, discussing composition of bronze:

"This specification establishes requirements for an alloy having a
composition of copper, tin, lead, and zinc, used for component castings of
valves, flanges, and fittings. The common trade name of this alloy is
85-5-5-5; the correct identification is Copper Alloy UNS No. C83600."
