Stainless steel and nickel
 
I have a ball that i would like to use in my loop. However its nickel plated brass with what i assume is a stainless steel ball. It has a NSF stamp on it so i think it would be 304 ss.

Will the nickel or stainless steel cause any corrosion problems?

Everything in my loop is copper/brass.

Stainless steel will oxidize over time. You shouldnt have any problems with nickel platted brass.

Let me make sure I'm thinking of this the right way..... you want to put a ball in your loop? Strange, but that's just my opinion.

Doh sorry i left out the 'valve' part. Its a ball valve and i want to use it for bleeding.

that would happen in salt water (nearly all galvonic charts are for salt water)
in a normal wc loop, no big deal
