When installing sweat copper follow state and
federal codes by using a lead-free solder and flux.
Use a joint compound to seal threaded pipe. Some
homes use the cold water pipes for an electrical
ground (metal only). When finished with plumbing,
a ground wire should be connected to the copper
pipes to complete the ground circuit. Use two
clamps and #4 copper for this.
