Simply scrape the
pipe material at the wall where the pipe enters the house. Copper is relatively
soft and has a copper penny color. Galvanized steel is hard and has a
silver-gray color. Lead is fairly soft. You will only see this type of service
piping in homes that are about 100 years old. The joint where the lead has been
sweated to the supply piping looks like a bulb or a short section of expanded
pipe. It has a gray color. Plastic piping will have a metal clamp where it
joins the supply piping. |
