Frequently Asked Questions

What types of products does Brasshards make?

Brasshards manufactures a range of threaded brass plumbing fittings including hex nipples (straight and reducing), hex sockets, tees, caps, plugs, male/female reducing adaptors, and compression elbows in brass and chrome finishes across 10mm to 25mm sizes. They also produce all-directional shower heads in chrome and gold finishes.

What is a hex nipple and what is it used for?

A hex nipple is a short threaded fitting with male threads on both ends and a hexagonal centre section, used to connect two female-threaded fittings together. Brasshards hex nipples are available in brass and chrome finishes across 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm sizes, and are commonly used in water supply, gas, and general plumbing applications.

What is the difference between a straight nipple and a reducing nipple?

A straight hex nipple has the same thread size on both ends and is used to join two fittings of the same size. A reducing hex nipple has different thread sizes on each end, allowing you to connect fittings of different sizes — for example, transitioning from a 20mm pipe to a 15mm fitting. Brasshards offers reducing nipples in 10x6mm, 15x10mm, 20x15mm, and 25x20mm configurations.

Are Brasshards fittings suitable for drinking water (potable water) applications?

Brasshards brass fittings are designed for use in water supply applications. For potable water installations, always confirm the product's compliance with AS/NZS 4020 (products in contact with drinking water) by checking the product datasheet or packaging. Installation of plumbing fittings in water supply systems must be carried out by a licensed plumber in Australia.

What finishes are available for Brasshards shower heads and fittings?

Brasshards products are available in natural brass, chrome-plated, and gold finishes depending on the product. The all-directional shower heads are available in both chrome (15SH422CL) and gold (15SH422GL) finishes. Hex nipples and tees are available in both brass and chrome-plated options. Check individual product listings for available finishes.

Goldair 1200W radiant heater

This is an excellent heater. It’s practical, lightweight, easy to use and gives instant warmth as well as being affordable. The level of heat can be adjusted to one, two or all three bars. I highly recommended it. Fan from Double Bay Hardware was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Wonderful customer service. Cheers, Evelin.

Have only used 1, the other is spare as it is difficult to find these globes & the other one will probably blow any day now as they are connected to the same switch. Works as expected.

I ordered two small light bulbs on line as nobody seemed to stock the ones I needed..
They arrived in a day!
It is so gratifying to find a hardware store that genuinely cares about its customers.
I am also glad to see so many positive reviews.
I live in Crows Nest but I will now make a trip to Double Bay just to check these guys out.
I noticed a review by a customer saying that the prices are too high and to go to Rose Bay Bunnings.
O.K. go to Bunnings and try and get some really knowledgeable advice.
Chances are YOU WON'T!
I would rather deal with genuine people in this world who KNOW what they are talking about and that goes for ALL businesses..
