Hep2O claim not less than 50 years based upon interpolated data.
But of course only time will tell.
One thing is for sure copper is pretty good especially when soldered, but less so when compression fittings are used.
I do like the ease of some push fit fittings but have only used them where they already exist on an installation. I'm not sure I should be bothered as I doubt I'll be around when they start to fail

In my experience, today, tomorrow or years into the future. I use it for site work, would never use it for any work done directly under my name.
