  • Is there any good reason not to use stainless steel machine screws to hold my taps on? Previous ones were brass but having trouble finding anything that's not flat head or countersunk

    I'm thinking something like corrosion between the brass valve collar and the screw welding them in place.

  • And make sure you use a stainless screwdriver. As they’ll get contaminated and rust anyway otherwise.

  • Not sure if srs.

    Are you saying that some of the mild steel transfers on to the screw and rusts which in turn causes a stainless screw to rust which otherwise would have been fine?
