Brass System L’ottone italiano
Brass ball valves, compression fittings, manifolds and inserts in 1/2″–2″ — low-lead brass, Made in Italy since 1970, part of the same PPR + PEX + brass system. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SKZ & DVGW certified. We manufacture for distributors, projects and OEM partners — export by the container, not single retail units.

I. Why Italian Brass Perché l’Italia
Brass is where a water system quietly passes or fails. Lead content decides whether it clears potable-water and project standards; wall thickness and thread precision decide whether it leaks on site.
We are an Italian brass manufacturer — not a trader repackaging anonymous castings. Every valve and fitting traces back to one factory in Bologna, one QC line, and one certificate set.
Cast for potable-water and heating lines. Exact alloy grade and lead-content data sheet: available on request with our certification documentation.
Ball valves, compression fittings, manifolds and inserts — every metal connection point in the system from a single Italian source, audit- and tender-ready with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SKZ and DVGW.
Brass inserts and fittings match our pipe dimensions — one warranty across the network, from the riser valve to the insert threaded inside a PPR socket.
II. The Range La gamma
From the shut-off valve at the riser to the insert threaded inside a PPR socket, the brass line covers every metal connection point in the system — all available in your branding at container quantities.

The compression fittings line runs in three families: S series straight male/female threaded couplings, L series angle elbows, and T series tees — the geometries that carry residential and light-commercial water and heating work, machined on the same Bologna line as our valves.
Each family is dimensioned to connect with our PPR and PEX pipe, so an installer sources one matched system instead of reconciling threads from four vendors.

View manifoldsIII. The Alloy La lega
The alloy is the product. Lead content is what separates brass that clears drinking-water and project requirements from brass that only sits on hardware-store shelves.
Our brass is manufactured to low-lead standards suitable for drinking-water and heating applications — machined from low-lead alloys such as CW617N-class brass. The specific grade, lead-content figures and machining tolerances are documented on our material data sheet, which we share with distributors and project engineers on request, alongside our ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SKZ and DVGW certificates.
Exact alloy grade & lead-content data: Coming soon — confirmed on the material data sheet, issued on request.
IV. Size Range Le misure
A distributor should not have to split a brass order across three suppliers to cover a job. Stock one Italian line and match it to the pipe you already sell.
Our ball valves and compression fittings run the full 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, 2″ range — the sizes that carry residential and light-commercial water and heating work.

| 3/4″ | |||
| 1″ | |||

V. Compliance Le certificazioni
For a project buyer, a brass valve is only as good as the paperwork behind it. We issue the certificate scans and technical documentation your customs clearance and tender submissions require.
Quality management across the brass line — casting, machining, assembly and testing under one documented system. Certificate number & validity: Coming soon.
Environmental management for the Bologna production site — the audit answer sustainability-minded wholesalers increasingly ask for. Certificate number & validity: Coming soon.
German SKZ certification — third-party testing recognised in plumbing tenders and wholesale approvals across the Gulf, North Africa and Southern Europe. Scope details: Coming soon.
DVGW certification — the mark project engineers look for on water-carrying components before a submission clears. Scope details: Coming soon.
VI. OEM & Private Label Il tuo marchio
For importers ready to build their own plumbing brand, the brass line is OEM-ready — and flexible, low MOQs make a small trial order a realistic first step.
Branding Made in Italy, il tuo nome
We apply your logo and standard markings to valve bodies and handles, produce custom packaging, and — the part that lets you price above generic imports — the Made in Italy origin can be retained on the product.
Brass ball valves, fittings, manifolds and inserts can all be branded on the same order, so your customers see one coherent Italian brass system, not a mix of unbranded castings.
