Advantages of brass over copper?
It is NOT Better as RED Brass is 85% copper 15% Zinc and Yellow brass is 60% copper and 40% Zinc and over time the yellow brass becomes brittle because of dezincification. A piping system is only as strong as its weakest joint and BRASS is normally threaded thus the wall thickness is severly reduced, copper tubing Type K, L soldered or brazed are much stronger then threaded brass and Brazed brass piping is stronger but normally cost prohibitive to the average building owner.

Can you screw a copperfitting into a cast iron pipe without a dielectric union?

Can brass be galvanized?
IT IS PART Galvanized don't you knowGalvanized is ZINC coating on black steel and YELLOW BRASS piping is 40% ZINC and 60% Copper and RED BRASS is 85% Copper and 15% Zinc=The problem with TOO much Zinc content is dezincification where the piping becomes brittle and to little zinc and the brass is too soft as the higher copper content.==Mixing Galvanized steel and brass or copper causes a condition of electrolytic action as your mixing ferrous metals and non ferrous metals. ( this is first year apprentice training) to prevent the electrolysis one should use a dielectric fitting=
