Can you connect brass to copper pipe?
Yes, you can either solder them or fit mechanical (threaded) fittings.
How do you solder copper to brass fittings?
Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.
Can you solder a brass fitting to copper?
Certainly look up Flagg Flow T.P Fittings T.P thread-less copper fittings will FIT on schedule 40/80 /120 Brass pipe Ideally it should be brazed but soldering will hold domestic water pressures Also many solder fittings ARE CAST BRASS rather then wrought copper
Should you solder or braise brass water fittings?
Always and only solder.
How do you solder electric wires to a brass fitting?
*Yes you can solder brass, as long as it isn't the decorative polished brass. They have used brass fittings in plumbing for years and years. It has the same characteristics as copper.
Can you solder brass to copper?

What is the best way to replace plumbing fittings?
For basic plumbing fittings, either copper or brass fittings is your best bet. Copper is more for just water lines, and brass is for various uses, but more expensive. Sites like DrillSpot.com are great places to start looking.
Can pure brass be soldered using plumbing solder?
No, pure brass is difficult to solder with plumbing solder because it has a high melting point and poor wettability with typical lead-based solders. It is recommended to use an appropriate flux and solder with a higher silver content for better adhesion and conductivity when soldering pure brass.

What is the working pressure for red brass schedule 80 threaded pipe?
That would depend on the temperature "Temperature pressure relationship" and the fittings used
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.
