Zinc plated hardware against stainless steel

Zinc plated hardware against stainless steel

(OP)
Are there any concerns with using zinc plated hardware against 316 L stainless steel?  The application is a steam ejector.

I'm not a metallurgy person so please advise if you need additional information to be able to answer the question.

RE: Zinc plated hardware against stainless steel

The zinc will be preferentially corroded, probably very quickly.  It is best to use stainless steel hardware in contact with stainless steel components.
