Eco Brass and Green Dot Lead-Free Brass are eco-friendly brass alloys developed during the plumbing industry's shift to remove lead from water-contact components. Both offer free machining, excellent resistance to stress cracking and corrosion, and strong weldability, brazing, and soldering properties.
E.J. Basler machines Eco Brass and Green Dot parts using Swiss, Davenport, Hydromat, and multi-spindle screw machining, for buyers running production volumes of 100,000 pieces and up.
Properties and Benefits of Eco Brass & Green Dot Brass
Eco Brass and Green Dot brass were both developed to remove lead from water-contact plumbing and faucet components without giving up the machinability that brass alloys are known for. Both alloys machine freely on high-volume equipment, resist stress cracking and corrosion in water-carrying applications, and are easily welded, brazed, and soldered for assembly into finished fittings.
Key benefits of Eco Brass and Green Dot brass:
- Free machining for efficient, high-volume screw machining
- Excellent resistance to stress cracking and corrosion in water-contact use
- Easily welded and brazed for assembly into finished fittings
- Great solderability for plumbing and faucet component assembly
- Eco-friendly, lead-free composition for water-contact compliance
- Cost-effective for production volumes of 100,000 pieces and beyond

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Eco Brass and Green Dot brass used for?
They're most often used in industrial and residential faucet and plumbing solutions.
Why are Eco Brass and Green Dot brass considered eco-friendly?
Both alloys were developed during the industry-wide shift to remove lead from plumbing components while offering free machining, resistance to stress cracking and corrosion, and strong weldability, brazing, and soldering properties.
Are Eco Brass and Green Dot brass compliant with lead-free plumbing requirements?
Yes. Both alloys were developed during the plumbing industry's shift to remove lead from water-contact components and are engineered specifically for lead-free compliance.
What tolerances can E.J. Basler hold on Eco Brass and Green Dot brass machined parts?
Our Hydromat, Swiss, and multi-spindle platforms routinely hold plus or minus 0.0005 inch tolerances on these alloys, with secondary grinding available for jobs that need tighter control.
Can E.J. Basler handle production runs under 100,000 pieces?
Yes. While E.J. Basler is built for high-volume runs of 100,000+ pieces, smaller production volumes are accepted case by case, based on how well the part matches our process capabilities.
