copper doesn't rust while iron in an all water environments will form ironoxide (rust) in a very short period of time thus creating the need for something that has similer characteristics but won't rust i.e. copper, it is also cheaper.
Copper does not rust.
Copper is easier to soldier together.
Less heat is taken out of the water by the thin copper than thicker steel.
Copper dosnt rust or break in the cold as easily
Copper is suited for pipes, but not for moulding into faucets as it's not strong. All faucets are steel, with a chrome coating.
magneaium isnot as strong as copper.
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes

Electrolysis in plumbing affects the copper pipes used. If electrical wiring is installed too closely to copper water pipes, the electrical current running through the wiring charges to copper piping combined with the water and its properties causes electrolysis in the copper water pipes thereby weakening them.
Zinc and magnesium are highly reactive and so will corrode very easily, especially when in contact with water. Magnesium is an especially poor choice for pipes as it will react with water to produce flammable hydrogen gas.

No, hard copper pipe will split when you try to flare it.
Probably because it costs a ton? poop
