I got the wrong one. I'm putting a faucet in my attached garage on the house wall. I picked up all the pieces including a 10' length of 1/2" copper pipe at Menards. I mounted the faucet but I haven't run the pipe yet. I noticed the pipe I bought has a red stripe and the existing copper pipe in the basement has a blue stripe so I goggle it and sure enough I should have gotten the blue, ( thicker ), copper pipe.
I think I would be OK with the red since it's only about a 5' run and it will only be used occasionally for washing cars etc. I don't think it would wear out in my lifetime...??? I have "city" lake Michigan water if that makes a difference.
So... should I just go ahead and use it or go and get a length of blue? Honestly, I didn't even see any blue at Menards but did see it tonight at Home Depot.
