How Do You Use Tips And Tools For Copper Plumbing?
Copper is ideal for plumbing and tubing in sinks of new homes and remodeling projects. Not only does it exceed the building code standard in all 50 states, but it is also the only residential material for water-piping that has a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty. It is good for both hot and cold water supply lines, since it can withstand extreme temperature without breaking, bursting or melting. It is corrosion resistant and does not become brittle. This makes copper a more expensive material for plumbing and fitting than PVC (polyvinyl chloride), ABS (acrylonitrite-butadiene-styrene), PEX, cast iron and galvanized steel. Not only that, contaminants cannot easily penetrate copper. Its biostatic surface restrains the development of harmful bacteria. Copper is also used in automatic fire and sprinkler systems since it doesn’t produce poisonous fumes when exposed to fire. Below are tips on copper plumbing with their corresponding tools, just in case you want to repair your sink by yourself.
