Why Cambridge Brass Leads Municipal Water Infrastructure

Pioneer in Lead-Free Technology

Cambridge Brass was among the first manufacturers to adopt no-lead brass production for waterworks, exceeding regulatory requirements before they became mandatory. Our commitment to public health protection makes us the trusted choice for safe drinking water systems.

Complete Municipal Product Ecosystem

Unlike specialized manufacturers, Cambridge offers a comprehensive portfolio of compression fittings, curb stops, corporation stops, service line fittings, and meter valves. This complete system ensures compatibility and consistency across your entire water infrastructure.

Precision Engineering for Zero Leaks

Our brass fittings maintain tight tolerances through precision machining, delivering leak-free performance that municipal systems depend on. Every waterworks project relies on this level of precision, and Cambridge Brass delivers consistency you can trust.

Certified Quality Standards

All Cambridge fittings meet or exceed AWWA C800, NSF/ANSI 61 & 372, and CSA B137.1 certification standards. These rigorous certifications reduce risk for municipal buyers who must comply with regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Cambridge Brass fittings ideal for water service lines?

Cambridge Brass fittings feature lead-free brass construction and a pressure rating of 300 PSI, making them safe and durable for potable water applications. They connect CTS copper or HDPE tubing to threaded plumbing systems while meeting AWWA C800 and NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 standards for regulatory compliance and long-term performance.

What are the key installation tips for Cambridge Brass compression fittings on HDPE lines?

When installing Cambridge Brass compression fittings on HDPE pipes, always use a stainless steel stiffener to support the pipe internally. Mark the pipe for proper insertion depth and tighten the H nut fully to ensure even gasket compression, resulting in a leak-free, pull-out-resistant joint. These practices apply to both CTS and IPS systems.

Are Cambridge Brass fittings interchangeable with IPS-sized piping systems?

No. Cambridge Brass fittings designed for CTS (Copper Tube Size) piping are not interchangeable with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) systems. CTS fittings match the pipe’s outside diameter, while IPS fittings follow different sizing standards. Using mismatched components can result in leaks or installation failure. Separate CTS and IPS product lines are available for proper compatibility.

Can Cambridge Brass fittings be used in freezing climates?

Yes. Cambridge Brass fittings are designed for Canadian and northern climates and are commonly installed below frost lines. When installed correctly, they provide reliable performance even in extreme cold, making them suitable for municipal water systems across North America.

Why is lead-free brass important in Cambridge Brass water fittings?

Lead-free brass ensures Cambridge Brass fittings meet NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for potable water safety. Eliminating lead content protects public health and ensures compliance with modern water quality regulations for municipal and residential water systems.
