Copper is so reliable, it comes with a 50-year Limited Warranty on residential copper plumbing products—so you never have to worry about the quality and value of your new home's copper plumbing system. And because the warranty is transferable, that protection is passed on to the new owner when you sell your home.

The warranty stipulates that for a period of 50 years from the date of purchase of a new home, properly installed copper plumbing products will be free of failure due to manufacturer defects. You won't find this kind of security with any other material.

But don't just take our word for it. Builders and homeowners also know the value of the 50-year warranty on copper plumbing. Both agree that the copper industry's willingness to provide this coverage speaks volumes about copper itself. For Randy Luther, a prominent builder, the warranty enables him to offer reassurance to customers. "We've had a lot of confidence in copper over time," says Luther. There are other materials in the marketplace, but copper gives a sense of confidence. And to have the additional benefit of an extended warranty that the copper industry is offering today — the 50-year warranty on materials and workmanship — I think is outstanding."
