If anybody knows:
I am working on alteration of existing 3-story school building.
I reconstruct the parapet and leaders are located outside the building.
May I remove existing leaders, store them and after reconstruction of new parapet to reinstall them? Or leaders are such product that require replacement with new ones?
Thank you.

| If they're in good shape, why not?

The leaders are likely made of copper or a higher quality metal than what we can normally specify today. If at all possible, re-use. Conductor heads may need some attention, brazing or welding to recondition. No reason these items can not be reconditioned and put back into service.
