Copper Cylinders and Lead: Getting the Best Rate
Copper cylinders are paid better once the brass fittings, insulation and lagging are removed. Lead is paid by weight, so clean flashing with no mortar or felt attached gets the full rate. Not sure what grade you have? Bring it in and we’ll grade it with you at the scales.
