Copper industry launches new DIY architectural and plumbing videos

The “Do It Proper with Copper” video series is back with its second installment of DIY architectural and plumbing how-to videos.

The short, instructional videos have been produced by the Copper Development Association. CDA project managers Larry Peters and Harold Moret provide their expertise in proper copper application techniques.

The new series expands on the first how-to videos which launched in 2010 and cover building techniques such as: vertical lap seams, flat seams and standing seams for architectural copper systems bending and flaring, structural adhesives and a continuation of brazing techniques used in plumbing applications.

“We received good feedback from the first series, both from individuals using copper on their own projects and from instructors using the videos as a teaching tool. So we created this second series to expand to other joining systems and applications,” says Andy Kireta Jr., vice president of building construction for CDA.

The “Do it Proper with Copper” video series is available for free download on the CDA website, www.copper.org.
