C87400 copper rod is a lead-free, eco-friendly brass alloy primarily composed of copper, silicon, and zinc. It is widely used in plumbing components, valve stems, and hardware fittings due to its compliance with modern environmental standards for drinking water systems. Its silicon-enhanced composition provides excellent castability and pressure tightness, making it a reliable choice for complex-shaped parts.
