This has probably been discussed before, but because our search won't find 3 letter words, I can't seem to find anything.
I'm pricing out parts for a RIMS system including misc fittings for the kegs and such.
I know 316 has molybdenum added and has better corrosion resistance (though I don't know under what circumstances) than 304. The price difference in most items is small, but on larger items, it is a larger gap.
It's my understanding that kegs are 316, and I shouldn't have any problems soldering 304 to them, however, what if I ended up welding them? Should I just pony up and get the 316 fittings for the kegs, and just go with 304 for the RIMS manifold?
Thanks!
