One of the reasons I want to stay with brass. Even with the couplers
corroding, just some brushing cleans out the threads. Would be nice to find
two of the right length, or go get two and braze together. Will go to the
welding store tomorrow. Might even be able to cut some short pieces of 4"
or so and then braze them on the ends of plain brass rod to have just enough
threads for the nuts and washers to hold it all together.

Try Bronze (even harder to find); it has passes the 2000 year immersion
in salt water test
