I have a water valve that is corroded and I hired a plumber to come out to
repair it. When he finished the job I noticed he attached a copper pipe
section to the original pipe that is galvanized. I thought I have only
seen copper pipes used indoor behind walls, and it seems the copper pipes
are kind of weak...when I asked him he said it's the same but something
makes me uneasy about it.

This is the main 1" pipe that comes into the house. Using the think
copper pipe just does not seem right to me. May be it's just me.

Copper is far superior to galvanized, But in some soil conditions it,s not
the best. Also I hoped
he used a dielectric nipple on each side of the copper
