Is it correct that mortar in contact with copper pipe will corrode it and must be cleaned off?
tell that to the thousands of people who have had to have their unprotected copper pipes replaced in concrete/screed floors
There are cicumstances where concrete will corrode copper pipe and I can quote
"However, copper should be protected when it comes in contact with concrete mixtures that contain components high in sulfur, such as cinders and fly-ash, which can create an acid that is highly corrosive to most metals including copper."
Things is, who is going to carry out a chemical analysis on the concrete everytime they see it touching copper?
