# How to Connect Galvanized Pipe to Brass
Galvanized pipe and brass pipe are both used for water piping systems. Sometimes you have to join the two together while doing a repair. For example, you may need to connect a brass barb to your galvanized pipe system, since galvanized barb fittings can be difficult to find. However, if you have a few common plumbing tools at the ready, you can quickly and easily join the galvanized pipe to brass.
