This is because connecting stainless steel plumbing pipes to brass fittings and pipes is risky.
Temperatures are typically below 450 c for soldering stainless steels.
There are three main methods of joining pipes together and attaching fittings to them.
Solder coupling and small length of pipe to end of existing copper water pipe.
Apply pipe thread tape before screwing them together and then glue the pipes into the fittings using the proper cement.

Tighten first with pliers then with pipe wrench.
The stainless steel being joined.
Use sandpaper as needed for cleaning pipe then take the union apart and solder the brass end to the copper and screw the steel end to the galvanized pipe.
Stainless steels are weldable materials and a welded joint can provide optimum corrosion resistance strength and fabrication econom y.
Arrange the fittings so the water flows past the threads on the male fitting not into them.
Lines of 2 inch or larger are usually butt welded this being the most economic leak proof method.
Add a new galvanized steel pipe length nipple at each end and solder in your copper.
Victaulic pipe joining couplings are also used to join multiple pipe materials including.
However the chicago plumber installing the stainless steel and brass pipes and fittings needs to pay attention to which types of stainless steel he or she is using.
Required tools for this project.
The use of victaulic couplings with ductile iron housings on stainless steel pipe is common practice when pipe material selection is based on compatibility with the fluid media and where the risk of external corrosion is low.
Finally join the two ends with the large nut.

Soldering like brazing uses filler alloys with lower melting points than the parent metal i e.
One inexpensive method of connecting abs to pvc drainpipes is to use male and female fittings.
Soldering is often used for joining stainless steel in applications such as roofing and water tubing plumbing.
Stainless steel pipes and brass pipes and fittings work together better than stainless steel and copper.
