What else can I help you with?
Can you transition from a female brass fitting to galvanized or must you use a dilectric?
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.
Do you need a dielectric fitting for all different metal to metal connections such as copper to galvanized and copper to brass?
Yes, and make sure it has the DZR stamp of approval.
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.
Can you connect copper to galvanized by using a bronze fitting?
Yes! The best copper-to-galvanized connection is made using a brass nipple in between the two dissimilar metals. The nipple should be a minimum of 2 1/2" long (preferably six inches long). Bronze is an alloy (copper + tin). Brass is an alloy (copper + zinc).
How can I connect a galvanized pipe to a sharkbite fitting?
To connect a galvanized pipe to a SharkBite fitting, you can use a SharkBite transition fitting specifically designed for this purpose. Simply push the fitting onto the galvanized pipe until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection without the need for soldering or special tools.
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=
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 you connect copper to galvanized using only a bronze fitting?
There are copper fittings that will connect to galvanized.
Can you use brass and galvanized pipe for a gas line?
No.
Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?
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.
Can you connect brass fitting to copper fitting by soldering?
Sure why not
