Can a person use some galvanized or black pipe fittings in hooking up geo heat pump to floor heat tank. Hard to find the right brass fittings to make all the turns I need.

Be careful about galvanic corrosion when mixing metals.  Best to avoid mixing metals when water is present.

Yup, one of my larger residential customers had (2) 6" black iron nipples on their water service..it was rotting away..we just changed it out for them since we had the trucks and work trailer on site!
