| The discovery of Copper is probably one of the best | | | | problem-free performance, are long lasting and |
| achievements of humankind. Used extensively since | | | | maintenance free and has high thermal conductivity. |

| Copper tubes are known to be great as carriers of | | | | fuel-oil systems, oxygen systems and non-flammable |
| water. Hence, it is used mainly in plumbing, heating | | | | medical-gas systems. Copper wiring is also at the |
