"Hey again, Don Golden for Expert Village. We just had a lot of fun working with this copper pipe and I showed you how to put it together, how to clean it and what you want to use it for. Now again, this application really was just for demonstration. This is a lighter grade of copper piping. I told you there was 2 grades. There is the M grade and the L grade. L is a thicker copper that you always want to use when doing inside of the wall plumbing. The M grade you can use for outdoor applications. Say you are building a fountain or something. You can use it for projects, you can use it for artists projects. It is cheaper. The cost of copper has gone up so much in the last few years that you really don't want to buy unnecessarily. So just get what you need for the job. Okay and again, here what we did we've got a good joint here. This is a fabulous joint that I just soldered and the one that we use no flux on, no cleaning. Look at this, nothing. It didn't even hold so remember please, clean this stuff up really good before you do it and you will have a great job done. It is not as hard as you think again, you can do this stuff. Thanks for watching. "
