Looking for a tall narrow radiator and have encountered some made of aluminium. Any snags?
I have a modern WB Boiler and keep it Inhibited.

Galvanic corrosion between copper pipes and aluminium?
Al is used as a protective anode in copper plumbed systems. It takes the corrosion protecting steel parts. I gather there should be a plastic insulator between differing metals to greatly reduce corrosion.

Not noticed it on my old car with an ally engine. Replaced a rotten steel pipe with copper, and it's been fine. Very common to have brass fittings screwing into ally.
