Its long lasting and maintenance free characteristics make copper the leading choice for plumbing, heating, cooling and other mechanical systems. Copper never require painting for protection from corrosion. Instead, a thin film forms inside the tube, providing natural protection from corrosion. Copper's trouble-free service means satisfied customers. And its universal acceptability assures compliance with major building codes.
Copper is safe, too.
It will not burn or support combustion. So it will not carry fire through floors, walls and ceilings and it will not decompose into toxic gases. Copper has proven corrosion resistance Copper's excellent corrosion resistance is an important reason for its choice in so many applications. Solar energy systems, for example, benefit from copper's resistance to both atmospheric and distribution and fire sprinkler systems, copper tube's internal corrosion resistance results in superior flow capacity. Copper tube bores remain smooth, and internal diameters stay constant.
