    Flexible (roll) copper for bathroom supply lines?

    I can't seem to find a lot of information on the differences, in fact a couple of websites reference refrigeration copper and plumbing copper being the same thing, with the exception that one is measured ID and one OD. Another said refrigeration grade was thicker/better than 'plumbing grade.'...

    Flexible (roll) copper for bathroom supply lines?

    I "upgraded" from one access hatch to 3 hatches. There is still ~50% of the attic that is effectively impossible to access. At its highest point there is about 2' of room in the attic. Add in 12" A/C ducting, plumbing, conduit, etc - and it's very difficult to do anything. That's why I...

    Flexible (roll) copper for bathroom supply lines?

    Is flexible (roll) copper going to be a safe choice for supply lines to a bath? Quick situation: remodeling house, and have some limited attic access. Houses in the neighborhood (built in 1960-63) have started having copper pinhole leaks, fitting leaks, etc. I have an easy way to repipe...
