I just found a real nice 40q Alum kettle. Is there any concern for a reaction using weldless fittings?

My concern is some sort of galvanic reaction.

Thanks!
 
Nope. There is not enough time under liquid to support the reaction. Especially with the washer inside creating a gap. Just don't leave wort/water in the kettle for extended periods of time (days). I have been using my 25g aluminum pot with ss weldless fitting for more than a year now, without any signs of reaction.
