I would question how it was installed. If it was pulled through that 90d plumbing fitting, that would make some serious pulling resistance and heat possibly exposing conductors.
And speaking of heat - is that fitting soldered? If so I hope it was before the wires were put in but then that points back to the first problem.
Persoanlly I do like the idea of copper for cosmetics in this appliaction as it will turn patina over time. But one must consider a safe way to use it.
