Our inlet water pipe is 1 inch copper, will magnets still work or do pipes need to be galvanized pipe? thanks.

My pipe is brand new copper. Installation was very easy, but the product didn't make any difference to my hard water. Such a waste of my money.

Should work just fine, you will have to use the enclosed plastic ties to secure the magnets to the pipes though.

It will work, mine is installed on copper pipe also. The magnet is held in place around the pipe with plastic zip ties.

I have mine on 1/2" I.D. galvanized pipe. The description says, "any pole measuring 0.625 to 1-1/4-inch in diameter".

I don't think so, unlike copper the stainless is really stiff and it would probably kink before it would bend into a tighter coil. I think they run it through a machine press to make the coils.

Yes there is a coupling that needs to be sweated on to the copper coming out to the wall . Mine had to be done to fit galvanized pipe by a plumber.

I have not tested it with the magnet, but I have returned it to Amazon because the mesh section turned out to be shorter than it should have been. Overall length was fine, but the middle section was shorter (and both end sections were longer to compensate for the short middle section). I was afraid that shorter flex section would put an extra stress on exhaust pipes.

This can be installed on PVC pipes, copper and metal. The magnet has two screws that hold the unit in place on the pipe.

We were replacing a faucet, so I had to remove the old copper assembly that was brazed/soldered on there. I used a cheap pipe cutter I got from Lowes for $5. I then made s new assembly to fit the faucet using Shark Bite fittings. They are nice because you don't need to use any flux or solder; they simply slip into the pipes. The faucet slips onto the assembly and is secured with a hex nut. It was actually pretty simple, and I'm not a professional plumber.

From their website:Does Eddy work on copper, lead, plastic or iron pipes?Eddy can be installed on a copper, plastic, or iron pipe, but we do not recommend installation on pipes made from lead, as descaling a lead pipe may re-expose your water to direct contact with lead. Without descaling, the coating of limescale inside your lead pipes may offer some protection against the detrimental effects of lead on your health. Unlike many manufacturers, we therefore feel unable to recommend installation on lead piping. There is often a pipe of different material (copper or plastic) further "downstream" of where the lead main enters the house so a suitable installation point can usually be found.

No magnet and it gets stuck when you try to pull it out if you push it in hard. The fitting on the hose came loose once and soaked everything under my sink.

No, I believe that you can only use metals that can be attracted by a magnet. I have used my Revere Ware stainless-bottomed pans and a cast iron skillet successfully. My Revere Ware copper-bottom kettle will not work.

No, inlet has both 1/2" male pipe and 1/4" female pipe. outlet has 3/4 16 unf (straight threads) and 1/4" female pipe threads.

Yes, made of brass. Lead pipes are no longer legal for water systems from my understanding.

It uses a 10-1/2" Galvanized Steel pipe and the diameter of that pipe is 7/8" - see the link below for exact details. Google searches using the model number is how I found the info.http://www.menards.com/main/store/20090519001/items/media/Electrical/AmericanFluorescent/Prod_Tech_Spec/prod_YL108-YL108G.pdfbtw I've had these on my shed for about 5 years now and they are perfect. They are underneath the overhang, but they are built to last.

the strength of the magnetic field is lessened the further away the magnets are from one another. 1/4 inch insulation means that the magnets are 1/2 inch further apart than without the insulation barrier. The magnetic field will penetrate any type of insulation, the weakening factor is the distance between the magnets. This would all be important if this device actually did anything. Since it doesn't, you can put the magnets on different sides of the house and they will be just as effective as placing them on the bare pipe. ;)

I don't recall a magnet, there is a weight that goes on the other end of the hose that does a fine job of holding the spray head in place.I've been very happy with the faucet.

Hello, Randy here. Interesting question about the magnetism. I have a pretty powerful magnet and it would not stick to ant part of the pail. as for the rust jury is still out.I haul mine from the barb to the chicken coup so its inside most all the time. No rust yet. Hope this helps. Over all its a nice pail. Take care. RANDY

1/2" NPT Female threads. They recommend 50ft. I ran 3/4" galvanized pipe about 18ft down the wall of my garage all at a slight downward angle to a pipe going down as a water trap with a drain valve, and then about 15ft back down the wall close to where I started all at a slight upward angle from a coupling 8 inches up from the water trap and drain valve.I only had a 24ft garage to work with so had to improvise.I have blasted, powder coated, and painted with it for the last 6 months with no moisture getting through that I was ever aware of.
