Will be ordering a new SS standpipe from MM on Monday morning. My 1974 T30 has a copper one, which for one reason or another is leaking water back through the exhaust inlet connection, into the hot section exhaust pipe and manifold.
My hot section, just replaced, is made of black iron pipe. The new standpipe is SS. The SP has a 1.25" male connection on the base of the SP. My old one had a 1.25 copper female fitting.
So I have two male ends to mate, a treaded union will to the trick BUT of what material?
Im troubled that black iron pipe and SS (316) will rest together. Is this a reasonable worry?
Would it be wiser to use a brass female fitting between the Black Iron and 316 SS?
