Stainless steel has been used for years as a viable replacement or substitute to copper
when it comes to building or crafting products that need to be rust proof or better known as weather proof. However in some industrial applications meant for fuel reserves and processing it was proven that stainless steel has better thermal resistance than that of the copper. This is the reason why most manufacturing plants have switched to stainless tubings and for that to maintain stability of prolonging a tubing system, stainless steel fittings are also needed.
