If the pipes are black iron and not galvanized steel, can I use a galvanized cap to cap off the line? The metals are not so dissimilar that they will cause electrolysis, are they?
And if I need to get a black iron cap rather than a galvanized cap, who would carry such an item?
Sorry if these are naive questions, but I have stepped outside my comfort zone here.
Galvanized pipe can flake and clog orifices an small openings within your appliances. Small pieces of the galvanized material flakes off.
Don't be obsessed with using galvanized pipe. Black pipe fittings are readily available.
Galvanized pipe is not used for gas work due to the potential for flaking and clogging.
