I have access to a brass ball valve and fittings I need to install on my current 5 gallon MLT and was concerned about the use of Brass instead of SS or copper.
I have a 1/2" brass ball valve (threaded), 1/2" threaded nipples of various length, silicone o-rings and what apears to be Brass washers and the nut for inside the MLT. I currrently use a pre-drilled bung with 3/8" copper pipe and tubing with a valve to control flow. This set-up has not leaked, but I would like to have something a bit more sturdy to work with.
So, is the Brass ok to use, or should I wait to get the SS weldless set-up from somewhere?
Thanks for the input.
Salute!
