Light & Compact: Copper's light weight permits easier handling and prefabrication. It costs less to transport and takes less space when installed.

Easy to Join: The wide range of types of fittings available simplifies installation. Soldering and brazing provide neat, strong and leakproof joints.

Fabrication: Tube can be cut quickly with a variety of commonly available tools. It can also be readily bent and formed when necessary.

Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to corrosion assures long, trouble-free service. Immunity to rust and resistance to clogging minimize maintenance.

Flow: Copper's smooth interior means minimum resistance to flow. Also fittings do not restrict flow, and do not make additional allowances necessary when sizing systems.

Safe: Copper tube will not burn or support combustion and decompose to toxic gases, and therefore, it will not carry fire through floors, walls, and ceilings. Volatile organic compounds are not required for installation.

Dependable: Copper tube and fittings are manufactured to meet the requirements of widely recognized standards. They are accepted by all plumbing codes in Canada, as well as by the installation codes covering other applications.

The Bottom Line: Copper systems are cost-effective when compared with competitive materials! Copper's ease of installation reduces total costs, and its reliability means fewer callbacks and minimum maintenance expenses. Copper also has high scrap value, and is readily recycled.
