Is it ok to connect the copper fittings with stainless steel pipe?
Yes, it is. Speaking from the production of the pipe fittings, it is no problem. It is an increasingly common practice in today’s plumbing and HVAC systems, as the materials are both highly durable and relatively easy to work with. But we still need to consider some problems when connect the stainless steel pipe and cooper pipe fittings.
Stainless steel pipe fitting is the different material as the cooper, In particular, there are certain compatibility issues that can arise when joining the two metals. As such, it’s important to be aware of these issues and take the necessary steps to ensure a successful connection.
The issue need to consider when connecting stainless steel pipes to copper fittings is corrosion for long times. Copper and stainless steel are two different metals that have the potential to corrode when in connected with each other. This can be caused by electrolysis, which occurs when two dissimilar metals are joined in the presence of an electrolyte (such as water). So the better is connect the same material pipe fittings together.
