Maintenance of Stainless Steel Stainless steel
pipe fittings and other plumbing materials are
extremely popular appliances made of stainless
steel. The advantage of durability makes
stainless steel a popular choice when it comes
to using metals. In terms of corrosion-resistant,
hygienic, and long-lasting materials, stainless
steel is the only option that will meet your
requirements. A lifetime investment would always
be more durable with proper maintenance. You may
suffer early and long-term damages if you do not
maintain your products. Heres how to care for
and maintain your stainless steel pipe fittings
in the USA

• The electrolytes
• Stainless steel works well with dissimilar metals
  but is susceptible to corrosion in moist
  environments. Moisture in the system can cause an
  electrolytic cell which is a major cause of
  corrosion and decay if not properly grounded. It
  is crucial that smaller products are regularly
  cleaned.
• Using treatments
• The installation can be completed by applying a
  passivation or wax paste treatment. Through
  handling, fabrication, or environmental exposure,
  free iron, and other contaminants may make their
  way into stainless steel. Passivation treatments
  help remove them. Adding wax paste to the
  passivation layer improves its performance
  further.
