Copper Plumbing System

ABC Tube Industries offers copper plumbing system. Cost comparison and advantages between copper and GI plumbing system for a standard bathroom with hot and cold water and assuming a flush tank for W/C: GI plumbing takes 2 days to complete for a good plumber (Rs 250/day) and a helper (Rs 150/day). Copper plumbing takes only 3 to 4 hours for a good plumber to complete. Savings in labour, cement and tooling as a result of small chasing required for copper pipes is not taken into consideration. Saving in transporation cost, loading and unloading is also not taken into consideration. Cost of solder and gas for a joint is taken as Rs 2.00 per joint.

Technical Advantages: Copper — Thermal conductivity in Calper cm per sec per °C at 18°C: 0.918 (GI: 0.144), at 100°C: 0.908 (GI: 0.134), coeff.of linear expansion: 0.167x10 (GI: 0.177x10), Frictional losses: Lower (GI: Higher), Provision of expansion bend and loops for hot water supply: The expansion of the pipe is taken uniformly by the loop. (GI: The expansion of GI pipe with an expansion bend provision will put a strain on the threaded portion andthusweaken it.)

Other Advantages: Copper: Corrosion Resistance — Less corroded due to the formation of protective oxide layers both inside and outside the tubes. (GI: More corroded due to the absence of protective layers.) Resale Value — 100% (GI: No Value) Longevity — 80 years minimum (GI: 12 years maximum) Health Advantages — Inhibits bacterial growth (GI: Hazardous - iron oxide) Chances of leakage in joints — No leakage problems due to soldered joints. Burst pressure of joints is 5000 psi (GI: Leakage through threaded joints is a major problem.)
