NO but you will need some type of sealent OR braze or soldering
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.
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.
Yes, it is still a pipe thread. The pipe dope is there to fill in the gaps in the thread. It is impossible to machine the treads close enough in pipe to not need something in the threads to make a seal.
In general you would only do this if you need to connect a section of brass piping to a pvc section.
no!!! Brass is an alloy of copper and tin; frequently other alloying elements are contained.
To connect a copper propane pipe to a shutoff valve, you will need to use a threaded fitting that matches the size and type of the pipe and valve. Apply pipe dope or Teflon tape to the threads before connecting them. Tighten the fitting securely using a wrench or pliers to create a leak-proof connection.
Brass is golden / yellow in colour, copper is red / orange. Brass will tarnish more rapidly with dilute acid, as the Zinc in the alloy reacts. Copper is a little more "gummy" if touched with a file, where as Brass gives clean hard shavings.
Yes, and make sure it has the DZR stamp of approval.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Common brass or rivet brass is 63% copper and 37% zinc, and that's probably most of the brass we see. But there are a whole bunch of different alloys out there. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on brass to see a list of some of them and find out more about this versatile alloy.
No, it is not possible to turn a penny into brass at home without using chemicals. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc, which requires specific chemical processes to create. Simply heating a penny will not change its composition to become brass.
1st you need to know where the leak is. The only time a copper fitting or brass fitting will fix a leak is in the watersupply connection.
i need to answer this --> Properties of alloy that are different to and more useful than the main metal... i think this means what do they do?
