Actually Oilman thats not so!
Brass is diamagnetic so would have a different effect to plastic which is paramagnetic. It is used in RF inductances to reduce the value as opposed to ferromagnetic materials which increase the inductance.
Plastic has little effect on a magnetic field whereas brass has a negative susceptibility.
Plastic is about 10 times cheaper to produce than alloy and about 20 times cheaper than brass which cannot be moulded and would have the be soldered or low temp brazed.
The main problem is that the female tapping of the nut is just a little too loose and cross threading is very easy.

Well that's me told then, but for the purposes of this non-a.c. application it wouldn't make any difference especially since its A BRASS NUT THAT'S SCREWED ON THE BODY.
You'd better inform the brass foundries they cannot form brass in moulds then.
No doub't you will have noticed it is easier to get plastics cross threaded than metals

Sorry, I should have said that its not economic to mould brass in the thin wall that would be needed in a production version.
The thread is moulded onto the plastic but would need to be cut on a brass item.
My father worked for a year as a trainee draughtsman in a brass foundry and when I was about 13 he took me round the works. Crane & Co.
British Gas are using power flushing Mangacleans.

'From your cross examination of the whole diverter valve story I am guessing you are a lawyer.'

Well well chaps, i didn't realise it was open season on having a go at DIY'rs. I thought the point of this site was to offer advice for those who want to try some DIY or for those who want the professionals in (but do not want to get ripped off).
U know what (in keeping with your earlier insult), I unreservedly apologise in asking for any advice from such an esteemed professional as yourself. I take it that because 'Agile' and 'ChrisR' must have mistakenly offered advice to me earlier, you will see that they are appropriately reprimanded for there actions.
Give me a break, if ur just gona take the p*ss......don't bother posting a reply. When someone asks advice for something i may know about, i don't take the p*ss and then offer my opinion......... i just do or i don't reply. I'd appreciate it if, in any of my future posts + if u feel u want to help, u just do that Paul.
To all other replies, i appreciate your help - cheers

ok rob884, i know i don't pay to ask advice on this forum..........just like nobody pays me when i offer advice on this site also.......the last time i checked that's how forum's work.
That doesn't mean u can write what u want....... if someone insults u are u just gona ignore it? if so that's your call. All i'm saying is when someone asks me for advice i don't insult them as part of my reply. If everyone did that this forum wouldn't have lasted as long as it has.
For example rob884, you've offered your opinion and not added an insult have you?

I can't remember that last time I read such a load of old bollocks.Agile said:
oilman's post was quite clearly in the context of the Magnaclean, and you're implying that plastic has been chosen over brass because it would adversely affect the efficacy of the magnet. Or perhaps you're just taking the tenuous opportunity to use some big words
Yes it does.peca27 said:

See how it works?
The choice is yours - that's the beauty of it being a forum.
Can't you tell the difference between an insulting poster and an informative one mixed with a wry sense of humour? The other guys would have known where I was coming from. You have completely missed the mark, right over your head. Didn't you glean the gems of information I gave you?
Are you a lawyer then? To take it as an offence I gues so.
Interesting that you didn't take the positive of my post which was to give very good advice, but chose to misrepresent my wit and insult me instead. But then this is the internet and for as many people there are with a good sense of humour that appreciate when they are being given free of charge excellent advice there is always one who takes offence at every turn.

Are, I feel for you, Architect isn't an easy job, but better than being a lawyer.
its best practice to fit on return however it can be fitted anywhere on the system if you cannot fit it on return
