- Copper tube products have permanent product indentifications (manufacturer, type, size & country or origin).
Inspectors might indentify after many years the type of tube used in a construction.
- Copper systems can be installed, tested and used year-round at any temperature in any climate.
- Copper plumbing requieres virtually no maintenance and can resist more to damage that plastic tubes.
- Copper can be stored or used anywhere, indoors or outdoors, without harm of deterioration by the sun's uv rays or ather weather elements.

- Copper soldering is a sfe, realiable and non-toxic opertion. Lead-free solders will not contaminate the wather.
- Copper is fatigue resistant. Copper systems do not present thew problems assoiatrd with excessive and contraction caused by extremes in temperature. Well installed copper joints are for keeps, the will not break down or pull apart.
- Copper does not absorb organic materials, nor is it softened by them in plumbing service. In other words, possible contaminants cannot penetrate copper and enter potable water.
- Copper is biostatic. It actually inhibits bacterial growth.
