| Greetings,
I purchased some 40 ft of Type-K copper for replacing water mains on
several of my houses. I have replaced the first main and THE PIPE
LEAKS. I am not saying that the fittings leak. The pipe itself has a
couple pin-holes along the seam. Whipe the pipe clean, come back in 3
minutes, and there will be a couple beads of water standing along the
seam. This is NOT condensation. Has this ever happened to anyone else
here before? Is this somehow considered "normal"? Do I need to worry
about the small leaks or should I just go on with my life and hope they
self-seal?
Please advise.
Thank you for your time and energy,
William

Dude
You bought some junk. Take it back to the place you bought it, tell
the manager to bend over, and shove all 40 feet up his XXXXXXX. I
guarantee that after the first 3 to 5 feet, he will give you a refund.
If not, keep shoving it up till it pops out the top of his head. Then
buy some good pipe from a reputable store. Problemo solved, sit back
and smoke some reefer or snort some crack while drinkin a few
twelvers.
