Non-ferrous materials are metals or alloys that do not contain iron, making them resistant to rust and corrosion. Common non-ferrous metals used in plumbing include copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. These materials are ideal for applications where resistance to moisture, chemicals, or high temperatures is required. Non-ferrous metals are commonly used in water supply lines, fittings, valves, and other components to ensure long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance. Understanding the properties of non-ferrous materials helps in selecting the right components for plumbing systems, ensuring durability and compliance with safety standards.
