Pat Ayres Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think you'll find the inner parts are made of brass. Don't know the present price, but worth a few bob. Where you will shift them on this island is another thing. Maybe take them across when you return to your homeland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Not sure about this, but didn't they stop using brass in water supply fittings because of dezincification and change to either gunmetal or bronze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yes, you can't use brass in fittings which are to be used on potable water, they have to be DZR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 DZR or brass is the same as for as the scrap man in concerned. They were just as heavy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
