Gun metal ferrule fittings, also known as bronze ferrule fittings, are a type of pipe fitting used in plumbing and fluid systems. They are commonly used for joining and connecting pipes or tubes in various applications, including water supply systems, plumbing installations, and industrial settings.
These fittings consist of two main components: the ferrule and the fitting body. The ferrule is a cylindrical sleeve that fits over the pipe or tube, while the fitting body is the part that connects to the plumbing system or another pipe. The ferrule is usually made of gun metal, and the fitting body can be made of the same material or a compatible metal.

Gun metal is a type of bronze alloy that contains copper, tin, and small amounts of zinc. It is valued for its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Gun metal ferrule fittings are typically manufactured from this alloy, making them suitable for applications where strength and resistance to wear and tear are important.
These fittings are commonly available in different sizes and configurations to accommodate different pipe diameters and connection requirements. They are often used in applications where high-pressure or high-temperature conditions are present, such as in industrial processes or commercial plumbing systems.
