Some of the answers here are getting to the right point, but notice, copper is primarily used for potable water in your house. It is not strong, comparatively, you rarely see copper pipe above 2-3 inches. It is workable, and relatively soft, has reasonable corrosion resistance, although it will corrode (hence the EPA's lead and copper rule). Per unit weight, it is VERY expensive. Virtually all of the water mains of any size are ductile iron. But one of the main reasons it is used in domestic water distribution is that copper has natural inhibitive properties for biological growth. Think about it.Water will always be flowing in the main past your house, but your water service can reside in the pipe for weeks, partiularly if you go away for awhile, etc. But notice that the water is generally devoid of turbidity or bacteria. You can drink the water safely even though it has been sitting around in the pipes.

If you need scrap copper, try Scrap Yards (or whatever they call them in London), see your local phone Business listings. They would generally be willing to sell scrap copper for about the same price they'd get shipping it off to be refined. Try Scrap Dealers. If no luck, contact a local electrician, and ask where they sell their scrap copper. Rich
