Chips on the top of the pressure reducing valve

[popomama]

I just got a brand new pressure reducing valve, but there are a lot of chips(see the photo attached) on the top when I take it out of the box. I am concerned if these chips make the top part get corrosion very easily. What are the top part made of and why the manufacturer paints it? I assume the painting helps to prevent the corrosion. Thanks .

i would not worry , keep your bill most parts companies guarantee parts for a year or more. install it with a pressure gauge so that you can see if it works correctly and hold the pressure at what you want .

Thanks for the response. The reason I ask this question is to make sure the chips don't cause more/easy corrosion as the plumber charge $450 on labor to install the pressure reducing value and I don't want to ask plumber to redo the work in case of the issue from parts.
