/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1447628
Has anyone ever used copper pipe as a conductor? it could be used in a /diy/ fashion as a replacement for a bus bar.

I see here a 1/8" x 3/4" bar for one foot is about $55 at one store.

I see a 2" diameter copper pipe, for one foot is about $15

Maybe they gouge people that need bars, since they are less common and more industry specific, but I know the pipes are thinner. In low amperage situations, the pipe might be easier to procure, install, and maintain.

Looks like others have already covered this:
