Copper *_ube can be cut ��ith a reguiar hacksaw but tube cutters are preferred be '
they ensure a square cut every time.
I
A jig or miter box shouid be used when cutting copper tube with a hacksaw to I
guarantee a square cut When using a tube cutter, the copper tubing should be t �
piace with a pipe vise or a simiiar device. After the cut is made, any burrs inside
tube should be removed with a half-round file. A pipe cutter usuaily leaves more
tF�a� a hacksaw.
Copper is neither threaded nor avelded, but is connected by soider in socket welc
joints, using a process called 'sweating' . �
Often, the fittings that are soldered to the tube have threaded ends, but the tuba �
does not. Smaller diameter tubing is connected with compression fittings �vhere .
compressfon nut is slid onto the tubing over a small ring and then screwed to a f �
The nut causes the ring to compress onto the tube between the nut and the ftCir �
seai the joint. No solder is used, and the joint may be disconnected with a avrenc �
without cutting the tubing.
In most markets, copper tube is marginally more expensive than plastic pipe, bu
typicai house the difference between choosing one over the otherwould oniy am w
to a few hundred dollars, a smali percentage of the overall construction budget �
Co�per plumbing (s not alH�ays more expensive, though. Zt's the Ieast expensive

but that depends on the experience of the tradesman .
Since copper tu0e became the standard for potable water systems, it has gener�
outlasted the buildings in which it has been installed and iYs frequently recycled
new construction . Records show that corrosion faiiures of copper plumbing syste
occur in less than i percent of all known installations. Copper discobrs when it c
in contact with certain minerais, but this rarely results in a weakening of tube we
joints. Minerals dissolved in the water in certain locales sometimes form scaling �
tube walls, but that is generally attributabie to the quality of the water itself and
to the nature of copper.
Copper should not be instalied if the water has a PH of 6. 5 or less, as this could �
ccpper to cerrcde, although this is a rare eccurrer.ce. The major:*.y of public uti!ii
supply water at a PH betwPen 7. 2 and 8 ,0. Private weil water systems often haw
beiow 6. 5. When this it the case, it is suggested that a treatment system be inst
to make the water !ess acidic.
Copper tube qualifies for use in residential water systems under NSF Standard 6
also under aIl other widely used standards and codes.
The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1986, set Iead content Iimits for pip
fittings, solders and plumbing fixtures. Because of this, the use of lead solder in
potable water systems has not been allowed for more than a decade .
