Need to know the effects in flushing urine without water in copper pipes.
 
Some facts worth considering. 1. Identifying compounds in urine reactive to copper. 2. Jointing seal material (lead generally impervious) 3. Wall thickness of copper pipe to be used. 4. Internal diam. of pipe ( usually prescribed by code.) 5. Physical exam. of any copper material residing in environment approximately similar to one you want to use.
 
I would post this in the Waste Disposal & Treatment Thread
