| no problems, don't blame you, they're just really crap galvanized steel poor quality all the way around like most everything else manufactured here and in China.. They rust way too soon here within days of installation and good quality galvanized steel wouldn't do that for years even in far greater corrosive chemical environments than just minimally chlorinated water..
But realistically they shouldn't even have to mix steel nipples with PVC, every where else in the modern world they've advanced to the point of having PCV nipples in varying lengths and sizes and it makes life and installations a dream going directly from male threaded to female slip and not only does it save space but it saves time and money as you can almost always get 2 uses out of one nipple by cutting it and using both halves.. |
