1. Copper is lightweight. For twisted threaded pipes of the same inner diameter, the copper pipe does not require the thickness of the ferrous metal. When installed, copper pipes are less expensive to transport, easier to maintain and take up less space.
2. Copper can change shape. Because copper pipe can be bent and deformed, it can often be made into elbows and joints, and the smooth bend allows the copper pipe to be bent at any angle.
4 Copper is safe. No leakage, no combustion, no toxic gas, corrosion resistance.
Copper pipes are resistant to high temperatures and can be used in a variety of environments. Compared with this, the shortcomings of many other pipes are obvious. For example, the galvanized steel pipes used in residential buildings in the past are very easy to corrode, and problems such as yellowing of tap water and small water flow will occur after a short period of use. There are also some materials whose strength will decrease rapidly at high temperature, which will cause unsafe hazard when used in hot water pipes. The melting point of copper is as high as 1083 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the hot water system is negligible for copper pipes. Archaeologists have discovered copper water pipes dating back 4,500 years ago in Egyptian pyramids, which are still in use today.
