Water Armor® is a leading U.S. supplier of brass plumbing components, offering a full line of made-in-USA PEX parts for plumbing parts distributors and wholesalers, and available to plumbing professionals, too. Thanks to Water Armor, distributors and wholesalers nationwide now have a source for brass plumbing products engineered, forged, and machined in the USA. Water Armor® fittings are cost competitive, durable, and promise a strong sell-through across residential and commercial segments.
Water Armor is proud to meet the bulk and wholesale order needs of distributors, wholesalers, and plumbing professionals who require an extensive selection of plumbing parts and components. Plumbers, contractors, and wholesale distributors especially benefit from Water Armor’s bulk ordering options. Buying in bulk often means significant cost savings: volume discounts on large orders (1,000+ pieces) lower the per-item price compared to retail or small-quantity sales. Water Armor explicitly offers special pricing for bulk and wholesale accounts.
Other benefits of Water Armor’s large-quantity sourcing include dedicated support and account services. Water Armor employs knowledgeable staff who understand plumbing systems; they can advise on product selection and help spec out large orders (e.g. a mix of adapters, couplings, clamps for a commercial project). Building a working partnership with an American supplier also brings loyalty incentives: larger, repeat customers may receive priority treatment, loyalty discounts, and tailored inventory planning. In practice, distributors appreciate that Water Armor will make sure wholesalers and distributors have the stock your customers, contractors, and pro plumbers need.
For our high-volume wholesale and distributor partners, we offer private labeling opportunities of Water Armor plumbing parts, allowing you to leverage our domestic manufacturing and high-quality finished plumbing parts for sale under your own brand name.
Water Armor offers a comprehensive range of brass PEX parts. For example, straight and elbow adapters (male/female, sweat or thread), in-line couplings, drop-ears, 45° and 90° elbows, tees (including reducing tees), and garden-hose-thread (GHT) fittings – all made in high-grade lead-free brass. Every fitting is machined in the USA and stamped (often “Water Armor” and size markings) to denote its compliance.
Water Armor brand crimp rings are made of C122 copper (C12200 alloy) and are sold in bulk packs. Wholesalers and distributors can get every part of a PEX crimp-connection – fittings plus rings – from one American source.
At Water Armor®, we control the parts manufacturing process from start to finish. Beginning with raw materials into the factory all the way through forging and the final machining process. This fully domestic approach differentiates Water Armor from foreign producers and enables us to ensure trusted quality, competitive pricing, and a reliable supply chain to America’s wholesalers and distributors.
When you choose to source and stock Water Armor plumbing products for your business and your plumbing customers, you’re supporting domestic manufacturing while getting the advantages of faster delivery, consistent inventory, and a direct line to knowledgeable customer support.
Water Armor® brass fittings – including adapters, couplings, drop ears, elbows, plugs, and tees – are made from our ecoline® alloys – lead-free, high-performance silicon brass that is made in America. Engineered to comply with standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act, our ecoline® alloys are highly resistant to dezincification and stress corrosion, delivering reliable long-term performance.
The e-shield associated with all Water Armor plumbing products proudly represents a strong portfolio of ecoline® lead-free brass alloys sustainably made in the USA.
Water Armor® is your supply partner for domestic F1807 and F1960 and PEX parts. Water Armor brass fittings are compatible to work with all PEX tubing types and brands. This means Water Armor® offers a brass fitting solution whether the installer has PEX-A, PEX-B, or PEX-C pipe and to accommodate joining methods including copper crimp ring + crimp tool, or SS (stainless steel) clamp.
Distributors and wholesalers: Water Armor’s American-made ASTM F1807 brass crimp fittings and F1960 brass expansion fittings give you the opportunity to offer and sell more of the parts choices your customers demand.
Plumbing fittings must meet strict health and safety codes. NSF/ANSI 61 is the key standard for drinking-water system components, setting limits on chemical contaminants that can leach into potable water. Our products are IAPMO certified and meet NSF/ANSI 14 and NSF/ANSI 61 standards – providing assurance that the material won’t degrade water quality. In practice, most U.S. plumbing codes require fittings in contact with drinking water to be NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified.
Likewise, NSF/ANSI/372 is the standard for “lead-free” plumbing materials. It enforces the 2011 Safe Drinking Water Act requirement that wetted brass have no more than a 0.25% weighted average lead content. Water Armor® brass plumbing fittings are made from our ecoline® alloys (essentially 100% lead-free) and meet the NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 limit. Water Armor fittings exceed federal lead-free standards for potable water systems, a must for any trusted plumbing supplier.
Water Armor plumbing parts are PEX compatible and are manufactured in the USA by Wieland Forgeworks to meet the needs of American Plumbers.

Pricing on Water Armor plumbing products is transparent for distributor and wholesalers partners and account holders. Volume breaks are automatically applied for bulk orders. Water Armor offers free shipping on PEX plumbing part orders over $550, effectively lowering costs for large orders.
Equally important is Water Armor’s stable domestic supply chain and quick fulfillment. Because all products are stocked and shipped from Ohio, lead times are extremely short compared to imported fittings. Water Armor orders are processed within 24 hours – often the same day – from its U.S. facility. As a result, fittings and crimp rings typically arrive by ground freight within days of ordering. In practice Water Armor’s reports a 99%+ on-time delivery rate (“fittings arrive in the same week they are ordered”). This domestic supply chain means no weeks long ocean delays or customs hold-ups. For the bulk buyer, it translates to reliable inventory: the supplier “owns its supply chain” and can restock critical items in days, not months. All these factors – pricing, availability, and support – make Water Armor a strong partner for anyone buying 1,000+ brass PEX fittings at a time.
Here’s how American-made Water Armor® brass fittings compare to a typical imported brass fitting supplier.
