How much is copper worth?

They make the pressure lines out of copper, because the copper is designed to fail In about 10 years. It is a metallurgical science to make sure the copper has just enough corrosive inclusions in the metal, so a leak should occur, within a couple of years after the part warranty expires. If they make the line set and coils out of aluminum for example. The systems would last for decades, even the exterior condenser coils can, just a block from the Ocean. They must make the AC coils fail every decade, or the company's would go out of business. Designed obsolescence is about the most important part of any product company. Decades ago, GE messed up and made a line of refrigerators so reliable, that they nearly destroyed the refrigerator manufacturing industry. Because there were so few returning customers for replacement fridges, the demand shrunk to only new construction or people that wanted cosmetic upgrades. This could have had long term catastrophic consequences for not just the Manufacturers of refrigerators, but also all of their employees, their suppliers of parts and materials, their employees, and so on. Once both corporations and governments realized that if this issue of durable goods that lasted decades became prevalent and the norm. Their would be only a few years of demand for the initial product, then a quick die off of those companies and all their corollary suppliers. This would be catastrophic for stability of jobs. So mutal collusion of all parties for designed obsolescence to protect the social economic structure, was vital to all goods. From widgets to vehicles. Light bulbs to power plants. Things must fail for society to go on.

It’s valuable and people steal cooper all over the world.

It’s enough money that crackheads are constantly hitting my electrical substations for the copper ground wires. I’m really looking forward to the day one of them gets fried.

pennies are worth about 4-5 cents each so do the math 3-4 dollars worth of copper??

Enough to make this 2 minutes of work worth the effort for full price. $4.17 a pound, likely about .75 pounds there. So about 3.12 in 2 minutes, so about 93 bucks an hour for that work.

Ive being on the internet for years and I’ve never seen a video on how to do this. I had to learn at the scrapyard from some guy named dale

150 years ago, the aluminum would be the more valuable metal to scrap.

It was a cool video. Not many people have seen those stripped👍
