Copper plumbing systems have been installed in North American houses and buildings for more than 75 years and they continue to be the preeminent plumbing material, because of their durability and quality. Attesting to their longevity and reliability is the fact that more than 30 billion feet of copper plumbing tube has been installed in residential and non-residential buildings and underground water services. Across Canada, the average single-family house with a copper plumbing system has about 130 pounds of copper plumbing tube, fittings and valves.
For a comparison of copper plumbing tube and plastic pipe, which
illustrates copper's advantages for hot and cold water systems,
