C23000 brass, also known as Nordic Brass, is one of the most durable and cost-effective metals used in commercial water piping. Renowned for its excellent resistance to dezincification and season cracking—common concerns in high-copper brass alloys—C23000 combines moderate strength with good spring property retention. Its superior corrosion resistance makes it a preferred choice for underground service lines, particularly in systems carrying potable water. Beyond plumbing, it is widely used in costume jewelry, fire hose couplings, zippers, and tubing for condensers and heat exchangers. Its appealing appearance and resilience in outdoor environments have also earned it a prominent role in modern architectural design. The European equivalent of this alloy is CuZn15 under EN standards. Here are some key details of 85/15 red brass tube C23000.
