[T-Line caps]

opteron_bitch · 08-21-2004, 05:13 PM

I saw the previous thread on T-line caps, thought think might help some of you with the T's...http://www.dangerden.com/mall2/more_...asp?fmmore=241

it's funny how they "just" came out with these...

JamesAvery22 · 08-23-2004, 10:45 AM

Even though they are annodized id rather have copper or brass ones. Even plastic...

killernoodle · 08-23-2004, 02:55 PM

it would probably never corrode, it is not located near anything copper and there really isnt water flowing over it in any way. Plus, you dont have to fill it to the brim. Very nice product though.

Ya, I'll just gonna use cork. No corrosion worries. If that doesn't work. ill bring my T to the hardware store and get some plastic cap.

filled up, or water vapor...?

AngryAlpaca · 08-23-2004, 05:38 PM

Would water vapor carry the corroding stuff in it? Wouldn't that remain in the liquid? Filled up, yeah, there may be corrosion (no actual water flow. The water would not go through that tube as it is not a through tube) but I don't think it'd be very severe or dangerous.

???

I thought rapid galvanic corrosion required direct contact of the metals, or direct contact of each metal with a conductive liquid. Not the vapor.

rapid?

give a definition

take a walk on the beach, where copper coils of A/C units are replaced 3x as often, due to salt spray

(true)

Stang_Man · 08-23-2004, 11:52 PM

jesus christ guys... these things are not going to corrode!!!!!!

ugh.. :o

rundymc · 08-24-2004, 01:14 AM

point is they might, making them an unnecessary source of fault- good for the bling though, cos they're pretty, but I'd prefer something plastic (personally)

Its called salt spray. It has nothing to do with galvanic corrosion, unless of course you recomend using a 20% salt solution, but I think an all copper system would have trouble with that.

I think his point was, its out of the water, and yet it still corrodes...

Amen.

Not scopically. Besides, any imperceptible reaction of aluminum protects the copper.

Beautiful product.

SlaterSpeed · 08-24-2004, 05:21 AM

Im bloody sure i had this idea years ago! Cant find the damn thread tho

Mars · 08-24-2004, 10:13 PM

The anodized aluminum caps won't corrode. That is why they are anodized. Water vapor won't cause galvanic corrosion either.

killernoodle · 08-24-2004, 10:58 PM

That would look very nice on this case, it is the one I'm going to get when I make all my money from selling all my crap
