BENEFITS OF CHROME-PLATED BRASS FITTINGS IN PLUMBING
Plating brass with chrome provides numerous benefits to plumbing fittings. Chromed plated brass has a smooth, shiny, and durable finish that is resistant to corrosion, tarnishing, and staining. This type of finish requires minimal maintenance compared to other finishes and is excellent for high humidity or moisture areas. Chrome brass plating also provides thermal insulation properties to fittings, which can help reduce condensation build-up on plumbing fittings and keep them looking newer for longer. Chrome plating also helps to improve the overall appearance of the plumbing fittings, making them look more attractive and modern due to the chrome color. Finally, chromed plated brass is easier to clean than most other finishes, so it can help maintain a hygiene standard in the home. All these benefits make plating brass with chrome an ideal choice for plumbing needs.
WILL CHROME-PLATED BRASS FITTINGS RUST?
No, chrome-plated brass fittings will not rust. Chrome plating is a thin chromium layer applied to the brass object's surface, which acts as a barrier and prevents oxygen and moisture from reaching the metal underneath. This gives chrome-plated brass fittings a relative corrosion resistance compared to other metals, such as copper or iron. However, the chrome plating can eventually wear off, exposing the brass underneath. In this case, the brass could be susceptible to rust if it comes into contact with water or other moisture-containing substances. Therefore, it is important to take proper care of chrome-plated brass fittings.
IS CHROME-PLATED BRASS SAFE FOR DRINKING WATER?
Chrome-plated brass fittings, pipes, and faucets are not suited for drinking water, according to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as they may contain lead and leave you exposed to lead and chemicals. People who live in areas serviced by public water systems or those who get their drinking water from private sources such as wells should ensure the proper materials, pipes, and fittings are used to prevent contamination of the drinking water supply.
The best option for drinking water is to use plastic pipes and fittings, specifically lead-free brass, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). These materials are approved for drinking water use by the SDWA, meaning they do not contain lead.
