Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?
If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.
Can you connect chromed steel pipe directly to copper or do you need a brass fitting between?
In order to connect a chromed steel pipe to a copper pipe, you will need a brass fitting. These two pipes will not fit into each other otherwise.
Do you need pipe dope to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
NO but you will need some type of sealent OR braze or soldering
Lead pipe connected to copper pipe?
Easiest way to connect lead to copper /brass is a wiped joint consisting 40 - 60 solder alloy as this gives a longer pasty range
Is it ok to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
Absolutely, positively, YES as both are non ferrous metals and there is no possibility of galvanic corrosion or electrolytic action taking place. Presuming your taking about RED BRASS as opposed to Yellow
Is it OK to connect brass pipe to chromed pipe?
No! That will create intergranular corrosion
How do you solder copper to brass fittings?
Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.
Can you connect brass fitting to copper fitting by soldering?
Sure why not
How do you connect copper pipe?
YOU thread or braze copper pipe Copper tubling you solder, braze, flaire, compression ring, mechincal joints
Can you use brass as a dialectric union between copper and black iron pipe?
No, brass cannot be used as a dielectric union between copper and black iron pipe. Dielectric unions are typically made of materials that are not electrically conductive, such as plastic or rubber. Brass is a conductive material and would not provide insulation against galvanic corrosion between copper and black iron pipe.
What position should a brass ball valve be in when sweating to copper pipe?
Open
You want to replace old lead pipe connected to cast iron sewer pipe with copper How do you connect the copper pipe to the old lead pipe or to the cast iron pipe?
When I have to connect copper to lead "D" I usually solder the copper to the lead or wipe a lead joint depending on the diameter To connect copper to cast iron ,.... If there is a hub I caulk the copper directly into the CI with oakum and poured lead (molten) OR one can solder / braze a female adapter fitting and screw the copper into a CI female fitting
