Can you connect copper to galvanized by using a bronze fitting?
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).
You want to connect a male PVC fitting to a copper pipe?
Sweat a female fitting on the copper or use a compression coupling between the two.
How do you connect Copper pipe to PVC?
You can often find a modern connector such as Sharkbite or Qwest fitting to do this.
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

What fitting is required to join copper with galvanized pipe?
A threaded copper fitting on the copper side, male or female, and the galvanized is screwed into it.
Can bronze fittings be connected to galvanized pipe?
yes. Copper to Galvanized must have a dielectric fitting to avoid a galvanic reaction causing corrosion and eventual leaks.
What do you need to connect copper to galvanized pipe?
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
Can you connect brass fitting to copper fitting by soldering?
Sure why not
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.
You want to connect a male PVC fitting to a copper pipe?
Sweat a female fitting on the copper or use a compression coupling between the two.
Can a 2.5 galvanized dielectric union be used to connect black pipe to copper pipe?
Yes
Do you need a dielectric fitting for all different metal to metal connections such as copper to galvanized and copper to brass?

Galvanised pipe to copper pipe fitting?
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
