What else can I help you with?
Can you connect chromed steel pipe directly to copper or do you need a brass fitting between?
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.
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.
Do you need pipe dope to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
NO but you will need some type of sealent OR braze or soldering
Can you connect brass to copper pipe?
Yes, you can either solder them or fit mechanical (threaded) fittings.
Why do pipes rust?
Plastic pipe does not rust, brass does not rust, copper does not rust. Stainless steel does not rust, lead pipe does not rust.
Lead pipe connected to copper pipe?
Easiest way to connect lead to copper /brass is a wiped joint consisting 40 - 60 solder alloy as this gives a longer pasty range
Is it ok to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
Absolutely, positively, YES as both are non ferrous metals and there is no possibility of galvanic corrosion or electrolytic action taking place. Presuming your taking about RED BRASS as opposed to Yellow
Is it o.k. to use carbon steel pipe with brass valves?
There are instances when corrosion occurs at the junction of a carbon steel pipe and a brass valve. This is often the result of a pipe threading failure.
Is it OK to connect brass pipe to chromed pipe?
No! That will create intergranular corrosion
In a steel pipe fitted with brass tap which metal will get corroded?
In this scenario, the steel pipe will likely corrode faster than the brass tap due to galvanic corrosion. When dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte (such as water), an electrochemical reaction occurs, causing the steel to degrade. To prevent this, it's important to use proper corrosion inhibitors or coatings to protect the steel pipe.
Why taps are made of stainless steel?
Because if you join copper (the pipe) directly into steel (the radiator) the electrolytic difference is so great they would corrode very quickly. By using brass between them you reove this risk.
Will carbon steel pipe touching copper pipe cause electrolysis in plumbing situations?
will carbon steel pipe touching copper pipe cause electrolysis in plumbing situations using water.
