I thought they'd rust or something but I haven't had an issue. I cleaned them with alcohol in case they had any oil on them.

I thought they only rust if exposed to air?
Not positive in that though
Everybody's set up is different though

I've had the same SS clamps in my rez for over 3 years now. Still look as new as the day they were put in. No issues.

You guys are really over thinking this.

What do you think beer is made and stored in? Stainless steel. How do you think it's cleaned? Caustic soda, acids and steam.

Maybe so, but id rather over think something, than under think it.

I'm just being cautious. Don't take offense. What you're telling me makes sense, so I'm taking it into account, but I want to hear what others have to say as well.

I mostly work with ss day in and day out....it's quite literally what keeps me up at night.

You cook your food in it......the reason I used beer as an example is because it's in contact with ss for long periods of time.

theres enough "air" in the water to allow underwater corrosion.
