Need COPPER Pipe, Scraps, Cutoffs , etc for a project


I am trying to complete a project and need some COPPER PIPE is small lengths.
1", 2", 3", 4" diameter pipe in any schedule (K,L,M)

Any plumbers have left-overs I can buy cheap?

Anyone know of a SCRAP yard that might sell copper pipe retail? Most seem to have stopped recently.

Even pipe with ends or elbows soldered in can work for me. THANKS!!

no. copper isn't cheap. recovered scrap is sold at copper prices.

why not go to a plumbing supply depot? or lowes?

who checked you off for metal rockets? that's a far step from paper. and obviously includes shrapnel if your wrong. and if you can't figure how to get pipe i'm guessing already your wrong.

and if you needed metal pipe for stability: obviously you need length, which brings to question: pipes that long are not considered scrap. plumbers use short pieces here and there and would not toss much at all.

This post is really helpful for anyone sourcing materials for a project. Finding the right copper pipes and scraps can save both time and cost. It also reminds readers that specialized materials like Beryllium Copper Plate/Sheet, BeCu are essential for certain applications. Thanks for sharing practical insights and useful sourcing ideas.
