HERITAGE™ COPPER – EXCLUSIVE TO CONTINUOUS SPOUTING
Heritage™ Copper has been developed over a ten year period by Continuous Spouting with the aim of
delivering a superior material designed specifically for use in our roll forming machines. The secret to the
success of Heritage™ Copper lies in the combination of selecting the correct grain size, structure, direction
and hardness. The end result is a premium product with a uniform appearance - able to be repeated time
and time again.
Features & Benefits of using Copper for Spouting
Copper is one of man’s oldest metals, dating back more than 10,000 years. Still usable fragments of copper
plumbing have been found that are more than 5,000 years old.
Today, it remains a popular choice for plumbing, spouting and gas-fitting world-wide because it offers many
benefits over other materials.
Long-lasting - properly installed copper meets the full building lifetime durability required by the Building Act
Proven over centuries of use - copper is the only plumbing material with years of proven trouble-free service
Durable - copper is enormously strong and can withstand extremes of temperature from minus 196° to 600°C
100% natural and recyclable - CU is one of nature's primary elements, with significant resources world-wide. It is fully recyclable, with a world-wide recycling rate higher than any other engineering metal
Versatile - copper is ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, gas and water reticulation, hot and cold water, solar and central heating, cryogenics, fire sprinkler systems - and that is in the plumbing and gas-fitting fields alone
Impermeable - contaminants cannot permeate from the external environment
Biostatic - most bacteria cannot grow on its surface. In fact copper acts as a natural inhibitor to bacterial growth, with tests showing that 99% of opportunistic pathogens are eliminated from copper tubing in just 5 hours
Safe - won't melt, burn or give off toxic fumes in a house fire
Good for you - copper is essential to health and diet. The minute traces of copper in tap water supplied through copper plumbing are good for you
Heritage Copper®, exclusively from Continuous Spouting NZ Ltd
10 year product refinement to deliver superior strength and enhanced visual appearance
Sourced globally for top quality
Technical information:
At manufacture the copper undergoes a process that provides superior hardness.
This is attributed to the grain size used and the direction they are aligned leading to greater strength
When Heritage copper is run through the machine, defects such as bends or banana shaped continuous runs are avoided. Similarly, Heritage copper avoid the typical pitfall of ”oil canning”, a term used to describe waves in the finished product.
