California, and other states, outlawed aluminum back in the late 70s, for the reasons I have quoted PLUS attaching copper to aluminum makes a hot joint. Yes, I am fully familiar with both copper and aluminum. I worked in the field for over thirty years.
For those who want to take the advice of professionals (those who charge for their service) rather than experts (those who know what the he!! they are talking about), yes, aluminum is legal if you jump through all the hoops. It is STILL daqngerous, and those who care for your safety will tell you so.

Then you are obviously not a professional in the field and are not very familiar with this stuff.
Aluminum is FINE in most settings, especially residential.
AL is NOT "unsafe". If it were it would not be allowed to be sold, no?
IMO your "set in stone rule" is simply dramatics based on hearsay and rumor as opposed to facts. Or do you have facts to support your claims??
