not a good idea it will bleed zinc into your water

I am pretty sure brass is an alloy (rather than an element like iron) and contains copper and zinc

Just ask one of the (veteran) worker from LOWES or HD and they will make it happen for you.

Like Karin said .. we had a customer that found it easier to use a brass fitting and only one on his reef.. Well after a few months could not pin point why things were not doing well , we had him place a Polypad in and it turned blue (copper) in a short time.With the removal of brass fitting all was well

Oh, all in plastic or pvc too.

no metals. any metal, even stainless will corrode in time and who knows what will leech into the tank.

What fittings are you looking for? Their are alot of fittings that can be had at irrigation stores if Lowes and Home Depot dont have them.
