the copper pipe coming out of the top of my hot water heater is quite rusted and looks almost like it is slowly melting (the slow green/copper ooze is mushy to the touch). I assume that this means it is time to replace the pipes, but should I replace the hot water heater as well? It was new in 2007 (though we just bought the house). I am not sure if there is an inherent heat issue as there is ...
01.04.2007 A water-pipe failure within these walls is virtually guaranteed to produce a cascade of costly consequences. Typically, a recirculating pump is used to pump hot water from a water heater through the copper hot-water pipeline, at the same time returning water that has cooled from the hot-water lines back to the water heater to be reheated. With ...
24.07.2019 Copper pipes; Coppers pipes are mostly used for hot, cold water supply and for refrigerant lines in HVAC (heating, cooling and air condition) systems.

19.03.2008 Single wall natural draft gas water heater vent pipe cannot be used in unheated areas like attic or garage (even if only partially penetrating that space) , because such vent pipe installation will cause excessive condensation on vent pipe walls and compromise proper drafting – double wall pipe / B-vent type is required. Single wall natural draft gas water heater vent pipe can not be used ...
28.07.2018 And a third solution is to use only one metal throughout the piping system, which is not always easy to accomplish. And finally, replacement of the metal piping with a plastic pipe, like CPVC, also works. The water heater itself has a replaceable “sacrificial anode” tube built into it, to resist any galvanic corrosion of the tank. The anode, typically zinc or aluminum, essentially sacrific
16.02.2015 Just had water heater moved to our garage when our new copper pipes were installed, so we now have pipes running in the wall between the garage and kitchen where there were previously none. During the repiping process, we found water damaged
for heating. Type "L" is for domestic. You can use either for heating, but there is a slight price difference. Type M is the thinest pipe. I read from other place: As a general rule, use Type K whenever possible, Type L only when necessary, and Type M rarely. I think the info you found is for underground water

All water supply systems use a combination of pipes (of different dimensions and materials), valves and outlets to deliver water to building users. Some water supply systems also use storage tanks and pumps. Designing a water supply system involves getting all of these elements right so that clean water is delivered to the user at the appropriate rate and temperature.
It is completely acceptable to bury/embed both hard drawn and annealed copper water tube in concrete. Decades of satisfactory service experience with the use of copper tube for in-floor radiant heating systems, water distribution systems and snow melting systems attest to the compatibility of copper tube embedded, encased or in contact with concrete.

29.12.2011 The plumber has chased the copper pipe work up the walls but has not put a sleeve or meshing over the pipes before plastering over. Is this ok? I would assume that the hot water pipes would need to expand with the heat and surely the plaster will stop it from doing so? Also, will the plaster carode the copper in the future if the pipe is not ...
