It is NOT Better as RED Brass is 85% copper 15% Zinc and Yellow brass is 60% copper and 40% Zinc and over time the yellow brass becomes brittle because of dezincification.
A piping system is only as strong as its weakest joint and BRASS is normally threaded thus the wall thickness is severly reduced, copper tubing Type K, L soldered or brazed are much stronger then threaded brass and Brazed brass piping is stronger but normally cost prohibitive to the average building owner.

Is the property of brass totally different from copper and zinc?

Why is brass a better metal than copper for making door knockers?
Brass is preferred over copper for making door knockers because it is more corrosion-resistant and durable due to the addition of zinc. Brass also has a more pleasing aesthetic with its gold-like appearance compared to copper, which can tarnish over time.

Gold, definitely. How about fixing this question as to what type of "brass" There is Yellow brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc and the more common red brass 85% copper and 15% Zinc then there is Muntz metal and Bronze thus BRASS = COPPER as there is NO gold content in "Brass"
Does copper and brass have the same density?
No, copper and brass do not have the same density. Copper has a density of around 8.96 g/cm³, while brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, has a density that varies depending on the specific composition. Generally, brass has a lower density than copper due to the addition of zinc.
