Working out my Paxo, thermal storage, injection mixing radiant loop system design. The boiler and 140 boiler valve are threaded steel, cast iron pumps and copper distribution. With proper placment, can I use brass circulator pump flanges as a dielectric point, and not have to add dielectric unions?
 
I have head people say brass works, or slows down electrolysis, but die-electric unions are cheap, why not just toss them in for peace of mind, I always use them on when I plumb boilers for customers.
