The only reason copper turns green is due to oxidization.
So you have air in your lines.
Unless you take a chemical approach to turn the copper green. But I assume this isn't an issue.

I beg to differ.
! inch Pex will retain its mold until clamped down.
Maybe you've had better results but I have not.
Yesterday was a shit show running 4 lines from the basement up 3 floors to hot water coils. Never again will I forget my heat gun.

I don't have a lot of experience doing it in cold weather, I normally do it inside, but if I do do it in the cold I always store the stuff inside then only bring it out right when I need it. Yeah a heat gun seems beneficial in that situation.

And I never clean the insides of scrap copper and they still give me #1 price for it, they might say something if its like clogged full with stuff, but the corrosion on the insides should be fine, at least it always was IME.

I guess if its 3/8ths but running 3/8ths should always be done on a decoiler anyway and it should be that tough to run.

I don't know I'm kind of biased as I know all the ins and outs and tricks of the trade so......

I guess  since I haven't been on installs in years, I'm out of the loop.
I've been a service technician for 6 years now so running pex and copper is not really my jurisdiction. I'll leave it to the installs and I'll stick to fixing problems.

There's dissolved gases in the water, yes. Oxygen tarnishes copper and turns it black. CO2 is what causes exposed copper to turn green. And yes, the green stuff is copper carbonate and can be removed with vinegar.

That kind of knowledge has very little value outside of threads about scrap copper.

I'm finally finished replacing all the copper pipes in my mom's house with PVC. This project has been going on for decades, doing one little section at a time. For the most part, the old copper pipes were just left in place because I'm lazy. As a result I have essentially an entire house worth of 3/4" and 1/2" piping that I'm considering pulling down and taking to someone who buys scrap metal. If I had to guess, I'd say there is about 500ft worth

How do I go about selling it, what is a good price, and what other shit should I consider?



You used pvc/cpvc  should have gone with pex . All kidding aside scrapyard you may make a few hundred on the copper it is around 3.00 per lb.

I do like pex.





it's not my favorite, the fittings and clamps are lacking. I've had several
leak and a few break, the pipe is fine, I'll use it with shark bite and gator
bite fittings. swagelock fittings work well but can be far more costly and
arent really suited to most plumbing applications





You obviously don't know how to use pex then.  The clamps work great.  i've been plumbing with it for almost a decade and have had zero leak & zero break.  Maybe you're using an off brand clamp.  If you buy a decent crimping tool and calibrate it right with the calibration tool you should have no problems.  Those sharkbite & gatorbite fittings are expensive & junk.  I think they are solely for people who can't or don't want to try and lean soldering/crimping.  A quick fix, maybe but not exclusively.  A lot of the blue hair plumbers refuse to switch from copper to pex.  They don't think it looks as nice and that you don't need talent to use it.  They're idiots.  You can make a house look mighty nice with pex if you run it like you would copper (with fittings)

Er for one the cost factor.

I prefer galvanized to all of the above.  It's cheap, easy to work with, and lasts longer.

It's also lighter.

for water supply lines?  you must be mad.  Galvanized is NOT lighter than PEX, PVC or copper for that matter.  It's iron!!
