ForceBeyond is a premier manufacturer of high-precision, superior-quality ECO BRASS® C69300 forged and machined components. As global regulations tighten around water safety, ECO BRASS C69300 stands out as the ultimate lead-free, high-performance alloy. It provides the mechanical strength of stainless steel combined with the superior machinability and corrosion resistance of commercial bronze.
Through our world-class closed-die forging and CNC machining capabilities, ForceBeyond delivers leak-proof, high-density brass components tailored for the plumbing, automotive, electrical, and fluid control industries. From intricate PEX fittings to commercial faucet parts, we ensure every component is dimensionally accurate, rigorously tested, and fully compliant with the Federal Drinking Water Act.
ECO BRASS C69300 is a highly engineered, boiler and pressure vessel code-registered alloy. It is entirely free of lead, arsenic, and bismuth while meeting stringent U.S. EPA standards for antimicrobial performance.
ForceBeyond ensures strict adherence to metallurgical standards to guarantee the alloy's performance and regulatory compliance.

(Note: For ECO BRASS C69300 tubes in M30 Temper at 2-inch thickness, typical mechanical properties reach 82 ksi Tensile Strength, 40 ksi Yield Strength, and 15% Elongation).
Our advanced closed-die hot forging process fundamentally enhances the alloy's microstructure, delivering mechanical integrity that standard machining from cast materials simply cannot match.
ForceBeyond operates on a highly efficient Tier-1.5 model, providing end-to-end manufacturing under a strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
By keeping both the hot forging and the secondary CNC operations under one roof, we eliminate dimensional "hand-off" errors between vendors. Our precision closed dies produce parts with repeatable, lot-to-lot dimensional accuracy and a clean, lustrous surface finish. From there, our high-precision CNC machining centers handle any complex threading, drilling, or micro-tolerances required for your final assembly.
Due to its high strength, lead-free composition, and leak-proof density, ForceBeyond supplies ECO BRASS components for mission-critical applications:
Yes. ECO BRASS C69300 contains a maximum of just 0.09% lead, making it fully compliant with the Federal Drinking Water Act, NSF 14, and other global lead-free plumbing mandates. It is also completely free of arsenic and bismuth.
ECO BRASS C69300 is incredibly strong. It features a tensile strength equivalent to many grades of stainless steel, while maintaining the excellent hot forgeability, machinability, and plating capabilities of traditional bronze.
While ECO BRASS is highly machinable, our closed-die hot forging process compresses the grain structure to eliminate internal porosity. If your component needs to hold high-pressure water, air, or gas safely, forging guarantees a dense, leak-proof part with far superior fatigue resistance and structural integrity.
