Hello,
I see many ppl recommend Brass fitting over plastic, I used some, 2 years later it completely dissolved and caused a leak I removed it and it complete diminished the brass like acid. Yet it was only on HOT water and it was a BALL Shut Off Vavle
googled and came accross that PEX and BRASS cause Dezincification if the brass fitting has more than 15% zinc.
But when you buy brass fitting they dont say how much zink used to manufacture it.
So I am thinking of changing to plastic ??????
Or whats another way to ovoid Dezincification process with brass and pex ??????
