Features & Benefits of using Copper for Spouting
- Long-lasting - properly installed copper meets the full building lifetime durability required by the Building Act
- Proven over centuries of use - copper is the only plumbing material with years of proven trouble-free service
- Durable - copper is enormously strong and can withstand extremes of temperature from minus 196° to 600°C
- 100% natural and recyclable - CU is one of nature's primary elements, with significant resources world-wide. It is fully recyclable, with a world-wide recycling rate higher than any other engineering metal
- Versatile - copper is ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, gas and water reticulation, hot and cold water, solar and central heating, cryogenics, fire sprinkler systems - and that is in the plumbing and gas-fitting fields alone
- Impermeable - contaminants cannot permeate from the external environment
- Biostatic - most bacteria cannot grow on its surface. In fact copper acts as a natural inhibitor to bacterial growth, with tests showing that 99% of opportunistic pathogens are eliminated from copper tubing in just 5 hours
- Safe - won't melt, burn or give off toxic fumes in a house fire
- Good for you - copper is essential to health and diet. The minute traces of copper in tap water supplied through copper plumbing are good for you

Heritage Copper®, exclusively from Continuous Spouting NZ Ltd
- 10 year product refinement to deliver superior strength and enhanced visual appearance
- Sourced globally for top quality
Technical information:
- At manufacture the copper undergoes a process that provides superior hardness.
- This is attributed to the grain size used and the direction they are aligned leading to greater strength
When Heritage copper is run through the machine, defects such as bends or banana shaped continuous runs are avoided. Similarly, Heritage copper avoid the typical pitfall of ”oil canning”, a term used to describe waves in the finished product. |
