Its amazing at the crap you get from a question answered by ignorant
contestants.

To weld stainless to galvanived pipe, first understand that you are
actually welding stainless to carbon after you totally remove the
galvanize from the weld zone.

Next you will need filler material or shielded rod (depending your
process) that is designed for just that job like eg: 316L SS

As far as galvanize being highly toxic, bunk you would have to
purposely suck up a lot of the smoke to get even sick temporarily.


Of course its best to breathe none.


Finally coat the welded area with a cold galvanizing spray you can get
just about anywhwre that sells paint.
