A question on brass

You can't get at the innards of the valve though. There's a check valve in the inlet side and an overpressure relief valve built right into it. The non-brass stuff adds very little weight.

Is this generally a non issue or are they fussy about valves at the yard ?

Sounds like a 3rd world issue just pass it on to me
