(OP)
Does anyone know how yellow brass will hold up to phosphoric acid? I don't have that extensive of books which has that kind of information. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Corrosion resistance of Brass
To be specific for 70-30 brass corrosion rate at 70 F 100% corrosive medium of phosphoric acid the corrosion rate is > 0.05 mpy (mil per year) which is very poor and unacceptable in metallurgical sense.
Type 316 austenitic Stainless steel will be a choice for phosphoric acid environment . It can be used up to 85%conc. and temperature up to boiling point with little attack.
