Copper Tubing for Plumbing & HVAC
Available2 products
Copper tubing, also called copper pipe, is commonly used in plumbing, heating, cooling, and other systems. Lightweight copper is antimicrobial, durable, and more resistant to corrosion than other metals. Types K, L, M, and DWV (Drain, Waste, Vent) are designated by ASTM International standard sizes. Each type represents a series of sizes with different wall thicknesses. Copper tubing must be permanently marked in accordance with its governing specifications to show tube type, the name or trademark of the manufacturer, and the country of origin.
Wall Thickness
Low-Pressure Type M Copper Tubing for Plumbing
Type M copper tubing uses less copper, has the thinnest wall thickness, and is lighter and more economical than other copper tubing for easy installation. Low-pressure applications include HVAC, potable water service and distribution, fire protection, fuel/fuel oil, and vacuum. ASTM specifications are permanently marked or incised in red to distinguish between other copper tube types.

High-Pressure Type K Copper Tubing for Plumbing
Type K copper tubing contains higher amounts of copper and thicker walls than Types L and M to withstand higher pressures. This durable tubing is commonly used in commercial buildings, city water mains, and industrial construction. High-pressure applications for Type K copper pipe include potable water service and distribution, fire protection, solar, fuel/fuel oil, natural gas, LP gas, compressed air, HVAC, and vacuum. ASTM specifications are permanently marked or incised in green to distinguish between other copper tube types.
