Yes! The best copper-to-galvanized connection is made using a brass nipple in between the two dissimilar metals. The nipple should be a minimum of 2 1/2" long (preferably six inches long). Bronze is an alloy (copper + tin). Brass is an alloy (copper + zinc).
There are copper fittings that will connect to galvanized.
Sweat a female fitting on the copper or use a compression coupling between the two.
You can often find a modern connector such as Sharkbite or Qwest fitting to do this.
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

There are copper fittings that will connect to galvanized.
A threaded copper fitting on the copper side, male or female, and the galvanized is screwed into it.
yes. Copper to Galvanized must have a dielectric fitting to avoid a galvanic reaction causing corrosion and eventual leaks.
Yes. Use a threaded fitting, male or female as needed on the copper and screw the galvanized into it.You must use a dielectric fitting to connect copper to galvanized pipe. If you don't, a galvanic reaction will occur and the piping will corrode and leak. You can use a Dielectric Union or a Threaded Brass fitting to join the two types of piping together.UNIONS can leak the best answer would have been a dielectric nipple
Sure why not
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.
Sweat a female fitting on the copper or use a compression coupling between the two.
Yes
Yes, and make sure it has the DZR stamp of approval.
You will want to put a length of copper into the fitting and solder it before you put it on the galvanised so that you don't cook out the pipe dope. >>they also could have soldiered on a flange on copper and thread on galvanized pipe.would have been another choice
It is probably referring to the type of fitting. A fitting that is soldered to a copper pipe. It is called sweating when you use solder and a torch to connect copper pipe together or attach fittings to copper pipe.
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.
