Inch-series brass hardware to ASME B18.2.2, B18.6.3 and B18.3, plus catalog-standard standoffs, inserts and SAE J512 flare nuts — all machined to order in C36000 brass.
Home / Products / Standard Parts / Imperial & ANSI
Imperial (inch-series) brass parts use Unified threads — UNC coarse and UNF fine per ASME B1.1 — and ANSI/ASME dimensional standards such as B18.2.2 for hex nuts, B18.6.3 for machine screw nuts and B18.3 for socket set screws. Brassland machines the full range from C36000 free-machining brass (the US twin of EN CW614N), with EN 10204 3.1 certificates per shipment, on a fleet of 79+ CNC machines including 28+ Swiss-type lathes.

Why a dedicated imperial range?
US-market drawings call out inch fasteners by ANSI/ASME standard — and those standards do not always mirror the metric ones. Hex nuts below 1/4 in. move from ASME B18.2.2 to B18.6.3 with different thicknesses; hex standoffs have no ASME standard at all and follow catalog convention; insert geometry is proprietary per manufacturer. Each page above states which of these applies, publishes only independently verified dimensions, and marks everything else “per drawing” — so what you see is what gets machined. Metric counterparts are cross-linked on every page (for example UNC hex nuts ↔ DIN 934).
Give the standard, thread, finish and quantity. We machine inch-series brass parts in Jamnagar, India, and export to 40+ countries.
Frequently asked questions
Both are Unified inch threads per ASME B1.1; UNC is the coarse series and UNF the fine series. A 1/4 in. screw is 1/4-20 in UNC and 1/4-28 in UNF — same basic major diameter, different pitch. For nuts, the body dimensions are identical; only the internal thread changes.
They are the US (UNS) and EN designations of the standard free-machining brass family — C36000 and CW614N (CuZn39Pb3) are treated as twins for machining and quoting, both rated at 100% machinability. Datasheets for both are on this site.
Yes — NPT per ASME B1.20.1 (1:16 taper, 60 degree thread angle), from 1/16 to 2 in. nominal, on plugs, fittings and ported components machined to your drawing.
Hex standoffs and threaded inserts for plastics. Both follow manufacturer catalog conventions rather than an ASME table, so our pages publish verified catalog ranges and mark the rest per drawing — the drawing is always the controlling document.
Usually, yes. Send the part number or drawing; we machine to the referenced dimensions in C36000 brass and confirm everything on the drawing supplied with the quotation, with EN 10204 3.1 certification per shipment.
