For the more durable alternative, use stainless steel contractor details Stainless steel is protected by the formation of a self-repairing oxide film. The presence of nickel encourages the formation of a crystalline structure called austenite which aids in ductility and formability.
It can withstand a very high flow rate (in excess of 40 m/s). Combining corrosion resistance with high structural strength allows for a significant reduction in section diameter, wall thickness and weight.
Make sure to use the right tape! Gray stainless steel PTFE thread seal tape: The tape has nickel pigment added for use on all stainless steel fittings – specially designed to prevent galling, seizing and corrosion.
