I just love the look and reliability of sweated copper.

A dielectric union is needed between copper and brass attached to galvanized. Ford makes a IPS slip style adapter that will slip over IPS pipe and has a IPS thread adapter. It also has a locking bolt to prevent the joint from slipping off.

Thank you so much for this detailed video on how to transition from one pipe to another. Because you you demonstrated different scenarios that could happen, I was able to use a dresser coupler to fix my galvanized pipe.

@Got2learn I have to tell you, right now, you are my hero! For 3 days I have been searching for a proper way to repair a broken connection at a solder point where the previous individual soldered (or attempted) a copper pipe to a threaded galvanized elbow connected to a galvanized pipe. I discovered it trying to figure out how to remove an old galvanized outdoor spigot from a galvanized pipe. Since the spigot was rusted, I went to turn it, and it turned the entire pipe breaking the soldered joint. Where the copper pipe was soldered into the threaded elbow, it came out clean. It looked like a plug of solder typically found at a cold solder joint. I have searched high and low as to how I might connect the copper piping and the elbow. Being a novice to self-help plumbing issues, I had no idea One should not try to solder 2 dissimilar! Now I know what I have to do. Time to seek a brass coupling. I thank you for that. I can't use PEX or a SharkBite in this location because of the limited spacing to work. Do let me know if my idea of putting a brass piece between the copper and galvanized steel is not the solution I think it is. On my way to Home Depot! Thank you!

Thank you so much Roger, I really appreciate that.

Another option if you dont want to solder when converting copper to pex is to use ProPress fittings. They make adapters that go from Copper to Pex. All you need is a manual propress tool, if you don't want to spend the ~$1000 for the power press tool

Really good.

Usually a good time to add or replace a shut off valve too.

Thanks for the great video on alternative methods for joining various pipe materials. I was wondering if there are any special additional tricks if having to do such a project for 1-1/4" galvanized hydronic heating system piping? Thanks for any info you might be able to offer.

Poly pipe only had problems on the hot side and it was just the fittings not the pipe itself, thats why they had a class action law suit against it along with some other types of b-pex, stick with uponor type a-pex (the clear pex) and use the expansion rings made from the same material and get 25% more flow rate compared to crimp style rings... I own a plumbing company for 21 years and was voted best repair plumber in the state of Oklahoma!!!

I don’t doubt that this has been your experience, but the statement about it only being on the hot side and only on the fittings is inaccurate. I’m a plumber myself and have personally been involved on far more whole home repipes due to poly pipe failures than I can begin to count. I’m almost every situation (possibly even 100%) these failures where on the piping, not the fittings. I’ve also seen an equal amount of failures on both hot and cold pipe.

Good tip if transitioning from CPVC to copper, solder your female adaptor before putting it on the transition fitting. The heat from soldering could compromise the CPVC. So get it soldered, and let it cool before

Ferncos are not allowed below ground. Vermin chew through the neoprene to get to the sound of water. Stainless no hubs are preferred.

Had a plumber come to the house and told me you can’t transition from one to the other, everything needed to be replaced.. according to your video.. their are some very dishonest people in the industry. Lost my whole basement due to freezing pipes.. next week I will be replacing all the pipes. Thanks for this video.

Brass to steel will still corrode. A dielectric union will work, but you can't bury them or drywall over them. Dielectric nipples, like you find on water heaters are good, for 3/4". But total re-pipe is best in the case of steel pipe. As Colin Powell said to Daddy Bush, "You touch it, you own it. " Another great video, thanks.

Very nice video overall. But I'm curious about the polyb to pex connector, I have found other videos where the copper colour ring goes on the poly b side and the black ring on the pex side. That is also consistent with my 1992 plumbing at home. Can you clarify?

The corrosion between copper and galvanized steel pipe is called electrolysis. Even with a short copper fittings like a coupling electrolysis will still occur for up to about 1 inch or 1 and 1/4 inch pipe you can use 6 inch brass nipples to prevent this afterwards going to a larger diameter size pipe you have to go to 8 inches in length and so on and so on. Or you can simply use dielectric unions which has in it a plastic collar and a rubber washer separating the two types of metals but even with this Union I have seen electrolysis occur for instance this morning I prefer nipples but unions are much more convenient and useful when separating the water lines for repairs or service for instance or when you have a water line you have to connect to and you can't completely stop the water flow

Best transitioning video out here more in depth on how to transition, makes me wonder now if I should add 8' of pex under my kitchen cabinet or just use new galvanized pipe again going all the way from kitchen cabinet the elbow through the wall all way to the water heater outlet of 5' pex? Just don't know if the pex can handle the water heater heat even though I would yet connect the pex into braided stainless steel hose coming out of the water heater?

What is your opinion about connecting galvanized to pex using brass pex adapter ? I am concerned about dissimilar metal connection and corrosion. If you don't suggest such transition - what is the other way to connect old galv pipe to new pex pipe
