No
Yes, there are dielectric fittings specifically designed for electrical conduits used in the defense industry. These fittings are engineered to prevent electrical conductivity and minimize the risk of corrosion, which is critical in environments where equipment may be exposed to harsh conditions. They comply with stringent military specifications and standards to ensure reliability and safety in sensitive applications. Such fittings are essential for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems in defense-related infrastructure.
No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.
Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.
Depending if you are talking about stainless steel or galvanised steel. Either way, you need to use copper compression fittings, otherwise known as conex fittings in some countries. Also, you need to be aware of galvanic corrosion if you are connecting copper pipes to galvanized steel pipes. The joint will rot away from the electrolytic action in a few years unless you use a dielectric union or other insulating separation.

Electrolytic capacitors use aluminium as a dielectric.
yes. Copper to Galvanized must have a dielectric fitting to avoid a galvanic reaction causing corrosion and eventual leaks.
It is recommended to use a dielectric union when transitioning from a female brass fitting to galvanized steel to prevent corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. This helps to avoid galvanic corrosion that can occur when directly connecting brass and galvanized steel fittings.

Taape or joint compound on the threads the same as any other pipe fitting, but not on the threads where the two halves connect.
Use fittings.
No, Victaulic fittings are not recommended for use with methane gas due to the potential risk of gas leakage. It is important to use fittings that are specifically designed and approved for use with methane gas to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Yes, this happens quite often in older houses, copper pipe can be threaded; thus one can join them and there are several fittings that can be utilized.On the other hand, copper tubing (K, L, M, and DWV) can be joined depending on which of the following application method is used:For copper tubing to galvanized water supply, one would use a dielectric nipple or union to prevent electrolytic action from taking place or dezincification of the galvanizing pipe.If these lines are for waste or venting, the Mission Rubber Company LLC has various types of couplings that can go from tubing OD to pipe OD without the dangers of mixing ferrous and nonferrous metals .For copper tubing to IPS you can solder, braze a male adapter and use the dielectric union, use a copper x galvanized dielectric union, or copper by female adapter and a dielectric nipple .If your connecting to a Durham system and the galvanized pipe has a Tucker coupling or a Kennedy tee wye, then you can use lead and oakum without the fear of mixing dissimilar metals as the lead is nonferrous metal but has no adverse effect with galvanized or copper pipes.
