Please clarify the difference between brass and bronze.
I am noticing some ball valves are brass and others are bronze.
Haven’t paid much attention to the plumbing fittings – if there are separate brass and bronze fittings.
I will be adding a T to a black iron return pipe for the boiler to splice in the copper return line for the basement loop.
I’m hoping the T fitting will serve as a barrier against galvanic corrosion between the copper and the black iron pipes.
At 1-1/4″ for the black iron and 3/4″ for the copper, the T will be somewhat substantial in size.
Thanks for your help,
Alan
