I just bought an "investment property", the ranch house is in very good condition except the copper plumping has been stolen out of the basement! I want to replace it back with copper. My question is: is the type M (thin wall) copper pipe ok to use for residential or would it be worth the extra $120.00 - $150.00 and use the type L (heavy wall)?
I have never used type K on any residential or commercial potable or hydronic heating system, don't buy it for those purposes, it is a waste of money and not required by code. Have only used type K on high pressure gas distribution systems (greater than 125 psi). Yet another reason I don't go anywhere near Home Depot: You've got questions, we've got the wrong answers.
