Silcock and expandable foam?
I had to replace a outdoor spigot with a frost free silcock.
My brother who is a plumber is really riding me that I used expandable foam to seal the gap in the hole where there silcock exits my sillplate.
Is there any harm in expandable foam touching the stainless? steel 1/2" pipe of the new silcock?

Maybe he was just giving me grief, but he said the expandable foam will cause the stainless? silcock to corrode and eventually leak/burst.
The chrome or stainless part is just a sleeve correct? Theres copper under it I assume?
