What is Braziery Copper?
Braziery copper (also spelled "braizery") is a UK scrap-yard grade for copper that needs extra separation before remelting. Typical loads include old copper tube with soldered joints, compression fittings, brass valves, and radiator connections still attached. Yard standards differ: lightly soldered material may qualify as No.2 copper, while pipe with numerous fittings or heavy solder is more likely to be graded as braziery.
Tips for best price
- Cut off brass valves and compression fittings where the extra return justifies the work.
- Sort clean tube, lightly soldered copper, and fitting-heavy material before visiting the yard.
- Remove lagging, plastic clips, and steel brackets rather than adding them to the copper weight.
- Ask how your yard distinguishes No.2 copper from braziery; the boundary is not identical everywhere.
