Hi,
i am re-doing my kitchen and adding a new sink and garbage disposal. I just opened up the sink cabinet and see a lot of mixtures of metal - which i always assumed was not a good thing to pair.
the sink drains through the disposal (which is then output into a black plastic/pvc pipe) and then through a stainless trap which is connected to a copper pipe and then down into my basement which is then tied into the main vent/stack which is pvc!
Is it ok to have stainless tied into copper? I noticed a bit of what looked like rust? or corrosion on the stainless...
And also - the cold and hot water is going through the steel braided tubes (sorry - don't know the correct terminology!) and they are looping in the back - looks like they are too long?? I have noticed on occassion that when i turn on the cold water that there's a tiny bit of air that spits out at first... is that because they are looping down?
