: i am trying to get all the information i can on pin hole leaks in copper piping, if you have a problem with these leaks or have information with these leaks, please e mail me. thank you za 07.24.99If you have pin holes in copper CHECK the velocity (FPS) of the water going through this piping especially on hot domnestic water lines. Copper is one of the best materials for conveying water BUT like any other product Coper has to be properly sized and properly installed. A lot of so called plumbers do not bother to ream the tubing ends and thus creating turbulence. This causes EROSION of the tubing. Before you blame the copper check your pressure and your tubing size. Some Lazy good for nothings who dabble in plumbing use GARBAGE self cleaning flux This crap normally has Acid which is the cleaning agent. If the lines are not properly flushed out OR during the soldering process flux residue is left in this piping system this ACID continues to eat away at the base metal. When I install copper tubing (Always L above ground) Never in over 25 years has any of my victims (clients) ever complained of any copper product failure. Unless you have a really strange water supply copper should last and last. If your water is what caused this Marvelous probuct to fail. I wonder what your intestines look like? Good luck be happy Sylvan
