Radiators are heat exchangers made of mixed metal, which is why they are graded as their own category. Common types are copper-brass car and truck radiators, aluminum radiators, and aluminum-copper A/C coils and condensers from cars and buildings. Mechanics and HVAC crews bring them in regularly.
Radiators are graded by their type and by how clean they are. A copper-brass radiator, an all-aluminum radiator, and an aluminum-copper coil each grade differently, and attached steel frames, plastic tanks, fittings, or oil affect the grade. Keeping the different radiator types separated helps, but you do not have to strip them — we grade them with you.
