Do you need a dielectric fitting between stainless steel fittings and galvanized fittings?

No


What type of capacitor uses aluminum as its dielectric?

Electrolytic capacitors use aluminium as a dielectric.


Can bronze fittings be connected to galvanized pipe?

yes. Copper to Galvanized must have a dielectric fitting to avoid a galvanic reaction causing corrosion and eventual leaks.


Can you transition from a female brass fitting to galvanized or must you use a dilectric?

It is recommended to use a dielectric union when transitioning from a female brass fitting to galvanized steel to prevent corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. This helps to avoid galvanic corrosion that can occur when directly connecting brass and galvanized steel fittings.


How do you join copper pipe to steel pipe?

Depending if you are talking about stainless steel or galvanised steel. Either way, you need to use copper compression fittings, otherwise known as conex fittings in some countries. Also, you need to be aware of galvanic corrosion if you are connecting copper pipes to galvanized steel pipes. The joint will rot away from the electrolytic action in a few years unless you use a dielectric union or other insulating separation.


Can you use compression fittings on natural gas pipes?

No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.


What is the material use in the capacitor?

Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.


Is teflon tape required on dielectric fittings where it screws on to a hot water heater?

Taape or joint compound on the threads the same as any other pipe fitting, but not on the threads where the two halves connect.


Can you use victaulic fittings on methane gas?

No, Victaulic fittings are not recommended for use with methane gas due to the potential risk of gas leakage. It is important to use fittings that are specifically designed and approved for use with methane gas to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.


How do you bend vent pipes?

Use fittings.


Can you put copper piping to galvanized piping?

Yes, this happens quite often in older houses, copper pipe can be threaded; thus one can join them and there are several fittings that can be utilized.On the other hand, copper tubing (K, L, M, and DWV) can be joined depending on which of the following application method is used:For copper tubing to galvanized water supply, one would use a dielectric nipple or union to prevent electrolytic action from taking place or dezincification of the galvanizing pipe.If these lines are for waste or venting, the Mission Rubber Company LLC has various types of couplings that can go from tubing OD to pipe OD without the dangers of mixing ferrous and nonferrous metals .For copper tubing to IPS you can solder, braze a male adapter and use the dielectric union, use a copper x galvanized dielectric union, or copper by female adapter and a dielectric nipple .If your connecting to a Durham system and the galvanized pipe has a Tucker coupling or a Kennedy tee wye, then you can use lead and oakum without the fear of mixing dissimilar metals as the lead is nonferrous metal but has no adverse effect with galvanized or copper pipes.


Can you use pressure fittings on three-quarter inch OD steel pipe for natural gas fittings for kitchen stove or do you always have to use threaded?

Not sure what you mean by pressure fittings. Threaded fittings for steel pipe are pressure fittings. Steel pipe with a 3/4" O.D. is known as 1/2" I.P.S. (Iron Pipe Size) pipe.
