Here on Campus we have many old buildings that were run in Galv. I'm always replacing bits and pieces. I wish they would just replumb the entire buildings. $$$$$
I'm surprised they let people still sell and use Galv.

Red brass if I have a choice. Yellow if nothing else. Galvanized is for building clothing racks out of for yard sales. Not much else.
