Copper pipes are used to insulate electricity because the electrical current can not pass through the softer of all the metals. The copper pipes can be found in electrical appliances such as television tubes and computer CRT. Around the house, copper tubing can be found in the circuitry of the circuit breaker that is usually located in garage or a shed to a house or an apartment.

Before copper and plastic pipes became available people used to use lead, iron or steel to make water pipes.

Within buildings, pipes which take away waste water - which are also called drainage pipes - are usually made of plastic. Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.
