Exposed Copper Pipe

[fred1949]

I have about 20 feet of 1/2 inch copper pipe that is exposed. It runs under my deck to a hose bib. I have a stop & waste in the house so it gets completely drained in the winter. My question is about the exterior of the pipe. Will the pipe be OK exposed to some sun & rain, etc?

Thank you all,
Fred

the pipe will develop a surface oxide that is brown in color and maybe over time a greenish hue. don't worry about it. the copper will probably outlast the deck!
