Interesting. That's new to me. What I mainly hear about copper is concern regarding solder (because lead) and how brittle it is when it's cold.

In response to this post@ohmu @ai6yr @douglasvb @laureenf.bsky.social In the PNW the phrase is "Copper is proper" but that only refers to the service line from the main to the meter and uses compression fittings, except some weirdos who still like flared fittings. No solder until it gets into the building but the service line from the meter to the building is usually poly. Of course that changes depending on age of infra and location / jurisdiction, but summarizes my experience.
@cR0w @ohmu @ai6yr @laureenf.bsky.social my buddy in NE Portland just had the pipe from the main in the street through the meter and into the house replaced with plastic. And he's been slowly replacing all the ancient lead soldered pipes in his house with PEX.
