I'm so new to wc'ing, I still get a tad confused. I know and understand not to mix aluminum and copper in a loop.....have had boats and in salt water, motors have to use sacrificial anodes to save the rest of the motor from galvanic corrosion.
But how about brass? I really don't want to use plastic any more than I have to, and plan on putting a T-line in the loop. Have found a nice brass 3-way "T" I can use instead of the usual plastic one. Think it'd look decent polishing it before installing it........
I know that some radiators are made with brass, at least initially, in their construction. But I've not found anyone mentioning having naked brass in their loop with or without success....can it be done safely or just go plastic. Honestly, the price for the brass piece is just barely more than the plastic part.
Thx!!!
