copper pipe

[richelli]

Just recently I was buying some items on the internet from america due to the good dollar to the pound weve been getting recently it was cheaper to buy from america than here. My thought was has anyone tried bringing copper in from america or is it more hastle than its worth. When I ordered my items from there they arrived in four days! which is faster than some parts ordered from england. Just a thought that past my mind. Anyone enlighten me further.:)

Am not sure on the price per roll. A will ask the boss man tomorrow what hes payin. Whats the price for rolls in America in dollars? Maybe if your price has shot up more than ours its wouldnt be worth while anyway. Was just a thought. A have these crazy brain storms usually keep them to myself and forget about them though. just with 2 dollars to the pound thought there might be some saving if shipped over here

there could be. I will check on it for you for some reason I'm thinking 48.5 cents a lb. I will also check on that. I might be getting confused.

1/2" x 50' Soft Copper Refrigeration Tubing - Seamless Dehydrated HVAC Tubing, Annealed And End Sealed is right @ $100 dollars.

3/4" x 50' Refrigeration Tubing, Seamless Dehydrated HVAC Tubing, Annealed and End Sealed
$166.00


or were you just referring to any copper? That's the prices from my supplier I might could find it cheaper but that should give a basic idea.

[richelli]

well its looks like it wouldn be worth while after all.

1/2" pipe on a 15meter roll is £22,93
3/4" pipe on a 15meter roll is £41.15

Those prices are just out of a hrp catalogue for rolled refrigeration pipe, sealed, so could probably get it cheaper too. The price of copper over there is high then! Was interesting to know though. Thanks for all the replies

No problem. If you are truly set on finding it cheaper you might be able to but right now in the US copper is supplying many a crack habit at the present prices.
