Hi Just had a new Atmos combi boiler fitted into an airing cupboard,Previously I had my old system boiler sited in the kitchen next to the stop cock and the pipe leading in and out of that was copper. After the new boiler was fitted i noticed that there was a length of galvanised iron pipework with a shorter length of copper on the end of it which,in turn, connected to the boiler.I then read about the interaction between two different metals causing corrosion which made me feel concerned.
Someone suggested fitting a strainer between the iron pipe and short length of copper to collect corrosion, but I wondered if it would be more prudent to replace the iron pipe which cant be that long as the airing cupboard is in the bathroom which is just above the kitchen? thanks
