Question: Brass Tee with MCW60 and Apogee GTX

[nealh]

I needed a new Tee for my loop and find a pl;astic one but the ID while it says its 1/2" sure looks smaller...so I saw a Brass 1/2' Tee and picked it up

Will copper react with Brass?

I realize the GTX is Plated Aluminum and realize there is a theortical risk of corrison(no need to rehash this)..I plan to use some Blue Pentosin or Zerex with possible a Petra additive as a precaution

TIA

Brass wont react with copper

i think those brass fittings are like 50% copper, I use brass barbs on my rads and they dont react with my copper blocks

Thanks guys I like the Brass Tee alot, not sure why I did not buy one the last time I did my loop

brass is 70-85% copper and the rest is zinc. Sometimes a few extra metals are mixed in, but its only a small amount.
