They are easy to work with for installation and can be very versatile to meet many of your plumbing needs. Copper pipe is typically safer in natural disasters and does not give easily weather or bacteria. It is also beneficial price-wise.

Copper Pipe comes in four basic types:

  • Type K - The thickest walls and most frequently used for underground service lines.
  • Type L - Used for interior hot and cold water supply.
