Red Brass = 85 % copper /15 % zinc

Yellow Brass = 60% Copper 40 % Zinc

Copper TP is threadless pipe diameter

Copper tubing Type K / L/ M

So what is tyhe application and working pressure?

BEST application would be Brass (RED) and brazed joints with TP fittings

I would tend to agree but only if the brass has been DZR (dezinctified) treated, otherwise use copper.

ONLY "Yellow BRASS" is subjected to dezinication as the 40% zinc causes piping failures as the pipe becomes more brittle over time
