Does anyone know the chemical makeup of roofing and gutter type copper sheet? Perhaps a nsf or isf number for it?
I can't seem to find any safety info or msds or nsf# or even a lab analysis of it.
Does it fall under the same law (2014) that covers all pipe in the US or is it different due to never having been intended for plumbing uses?

Re: Copper sheet
I made part of my still out of 3" copper guttering.
never thought it may not be food grade copper, didn't even cross my mind, now you got me wondering.

Re: Copper sheet
A couple still builders are arguing it out on Facebook. I'm almost positive the law only applies to plumbing parts but can't find any info on it. For once Google is useless.

Re: Copper sheet
Astm b standard is 99.9% copper and meets all requirements for reduction of lead in drinking water.
Sorry for the concerns raised.
Again b standard is what we need.

Re: Copper sheet
Hard hat to foil it's plan...
Bad part is mines built from a keg and pipe so it really don't concern me. To hear these two still builders argue you'd swear someone was dying of lead poisoning as we speak. They had me worried and I guess what it comes to is they are just trying to trash each others product to get more business.
