What are the materials used for the reducer bushing and for the female sweat to MPT adapter? If this adapter is brass where can I get one? I can only find copper so far.Home owner near Minneapolis with cast iron radiators, one non working slant fin now ripped out, and hot water heat.0

The bushing would be black either CI or steel is fine. The adapter can be wrought copper or brass does not matter. Probably copper is going to be what's available.0

Thanks. We just added a new boiler to our black steel piping and original radiators. We have the same question about mixing black steel and copper piping and possible risk of bimetallic corrosion. Do we need the contracter back to redo these pipe joints correctly? 1 image is recent joints x 4, black steel to copper in our new closed, hydronic heating system, 1 image shows earlier joins that included copper to brass bushing to black steel. Comments please

Closed systems can use both ferrous and nonferrous components. Your photos look fine @Project42day .
