Looking for a tall narrow radiator and have encountered some made of
aluminium. Any snags?

I have a modern WB Boiler and keep it Inhibited.

Al is used as a protective anode in copper plumbed systems. It takes the corrosion protecting steel parts. I gather there should be a plastic insulator between differing metals to greatly reduce corrosion.

Not noticed it on my old car with an ally engine. Replaced a rotten steel
pipe with copper, and it's been fine. Very common to have brass fittings
screwing into ally.
