Utility Copper for Condenser?

Post by Bogey »

I did my best to search and find the answer to my question but I cannot find a definitive answer. I have been lurking here a while and have just started my build. I decided to get the hard part done first and made my condenser coil. I picked up the refrigerator kit of 1/4 OD copper from Lowe's and promptly screwed up my first try. Returning to Lowe's I picked up 1/4 OD Soft Utility Copper instead of buying the higher priced kit. My question is: The copper from the kit specifically stated "Lead Free", the utility copper did not. Is my coil safe to use or do I need to struggle thru another try?
