Plumbing comes from "plumbum", the Latin word for the metal Lead. Originally, pipes were made of lead.
It is a number that allows the pipe to be traced all the way back to the metal it was made from, important for quality control.
It does things to the things in the things the pipes are made out of if you get me

One reason is because it resists corrosion and another reason is that it can easily be made into pipes for hot and cold water, oil, etc. However, compared to modern plastic materials, copper is much more expensive to use: its ore must first be mined, then the ore has to be smelted and refined into metal pipes, wires, etc. So nowadays, for drainpipes, plastic pipes are used instead of copper.
radiators need to dissapate heat, and metal can dissapate heat quickly
Most drain pipes are made of copper
Metal And Pipes
Yes, anything made of metal is a conductor, regardless of what shape it happens to have.
Yes you can thats what they used to be made out of
Exhaust gas pipes are silver and are made of metal.
a kettle is made out of metal
Wire, an internal heating element and metal, that's about it.
Different plastics, most are proving better than metal.
both are metals
The name comes from the Latin word for pipes (appropriate, since a plumber works with pipes). Early pipes were made from the metal Lead- and the Latin word for lead is Plumbum.
We usually don't find nickel pipes, as in pipes made of nickel metal. We do find that nickel is added to other metal(s) to make an alloy that can be used to make different kinds of pipe. Nickel is added to steel alloys to make different kinds of steel pipe, and these pipes find use in a variety of applications.
