Anyone think of any problem with carbon steel 3 piece ball valves?

I assume they might rust...but given that they are only in contact with the wort /water for short periods of time and cleaned/dry all the rest, I would think there wouldnt be a problem.
 
Carbon steel WILL rust, without question. Go with bronze- the 'gold' standard of plumbing fixture metals.
