Do you need a dielectric fitting between stainless steel fittings and galvanized fittings?
No
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 copper and galvanized pipes be used on the same fitting?
Yes and no. Pipes are pipes and many houses have both copper and galvinized. But copper and galvinized pipe must never come into direct contact with each other. You have to put what's called a dielectric fitting (available at your local hardware store) in between them. The problem is that without a dielectric fitting you'll get what's called electrolysis. Electrolysis eats holes in your pipes. Like I said, just put in a dielectric fitting. No sweat.
Will a victaulic fitting work as a dielectric?
Victaulic makes a dielectric fitting that could solve your issue.
What type of fitting do you use to connect PVC pipe to unthreaded galvanized pipe?
You can't. There is no fitting to do this. Galvanized has to be threaded.
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.
How do you remove a brass fitting from a galvanized fitting?
Two pipe wrenches. One to hold the galvanized from turning and one to turn the brass fitting. Pull on one and push on the other and it should come out.
Can you connect copper to galvanized using only a bronze fitting?
There are copper fittings that will connect to galvanized.
Is it required to have a dielectric fitting between brass valve and black steel pipe?
No
Does galvanized pipe connect to a shark bite?
Male or female sharkbite adapter on threaded end of galvanized pipe or fitting. No other way.
What about PVC and galvanized pipes is it okay to connect?
Yes, with an approved adapter fitting.
