Copper comes in three types; type “M”, type “L”, and type “K”.

These letters are symbols for the wall thickness of the pipe. Type “M” is the thin wall while type “K” is the thick wall. Type “L” is in the middle and the most widely used today.

In my experience, copper is a good product, but the lifespan depends heavily on the workmanship of the installer. Poor workmanship of the installer may cause the pipe to develop waves in the flow of the water thinning out sections of the pipe and eventually causing a pinhole leak.

Angel Plumbers trains constantly on the art of working with copper and making sure that the workmanship is at its best. This type of commitment has given us great results and has made us many new customers.

Not just good plumbers, Good people
