In Response To: Galvanic action (Ross Leidy)

: Does any know how much galvanic action occurs between stainless steel and
: brass? Is this combination safe or a definite no-no?

: Thanks,

Check out the following link:

The table at the bottom of the page shows that not only are stainless steel and brass fairly compatible, they are also have farily weak galvanic properties to begin with.
