Connected 270 Crusader engine to hot water heater. On the engine I used standard galvanize plumming fittings. Now I see Crusader Manual says to only use brass fittings. Why?

I agree with the others. Even if this is a Closed Cooling system, you may still see a bit of rust between the steel fittings and cast iron parts.Connected 270 Crusader engine to hot water heater.

You say "coolant". Is this coolant as in Ethylene Glycol, or as in sea water coolant????Thanks for the answer. I would never use pvc. And as the same coolent runs through the cast iron engine block I would not think rust would be an issue.
