What is the brown lining inside a cajon 316 T fitting?
What is the brown lining inside a cajon 316 T fitting?
(OP)
I was at a surplus place here in LA and came across some Cajon brand 1/4" stainless steel 316 T fittings, perfect for a project I was working on. When I got them home I noticed they were lined inside with a very hard brown material. It almost seems like bushing material. Does anyone know what this lining is and if properly cleaned, would this fitting be safe for passing water through?
Thanks

How about just buying brand new, clean fittings from your Cajon dealer?
At that size, they can't be terribly expensive.

You might ask your Cajon dealer if an option matching your description is available from Cajon, or if he knows of one from a third party.
The coating that comes to mind now is one of the PTFE-infused conversion coatings offered by the Magnaplate company, but I remember it as more gold/purple than brown. There may be variants of which I am unaware.
Can you section one and photograph it?
