Happy New Year to all,
I was once told that the actual money being made in the manufacturing of
those little brass fittings is not so much in the fittings themselves as it
is in brass scrap being resold as scrap. If you pay much attention to the
amount of material left in the wall thickness of the fitting, you will
notice that it is minimal. As much material is being removed as possible.
The scrap is where the real money is being made.
As for the fittings being made on the spot. Having various sizes of brass
hex is fine as long as the fitting is not a 90 degree or even a 45 degree
bent fitting.
Most all those fittings are made from a casting, not bar stock.

That's all I got.
Carry on as you were.
Martin
