There’s a pretty big difference between a piece of copper that has been fully outdoors in the middle of New York Harbor for almost two hundred years and a pipe that’s encased in a wall. Moisture and salinity are what contribute to copper corrosion; interior pipes are mostly protected from both because they’re enclosed in walls.
