Brass Pipe Scrap
Brass pipe scrap is an alloy – a mix of two or more metals, usually copper and zinc. Brass also may contain traces of tin and lead. It’s a versatile metal that’s frequently used in home furnishings such as light fixtures and bed frames. You’ll often see brass described as red or yellow:
- Red brass: This is the more valuable type of scrap brass. Its reddish tone, available to be seen more clearly after hitting with a grinder and being hit with direct light, comes from its high copper content. Red brass often is found in fixtures such as faucet valves, sprinkler heads, and water meters.
- Yellow brass: This type of scrap brass has a slightly lower price due to its lower copper content. Easily distinguishable by hitting with a grinder and seeing a yellow sheen. Yellow brass is used in plumbing fixtures and auto parts, as well as musical instruments.
