Medium-Pressure Copper Tubing for Drinking Water
This Type L tubing has thicker walls than Type M tubing to handle higher pressures. It is also known as copper pipe. Tubing has good corrosion resistance and excellent heat transfer qualities. It is seamless, so it has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It meets NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water systems.
Coiled tubing can be flared without splitting.
Note: Copper tube size is an accepted industry designation, not an actual size.
- Temperature Range: 32° to 180° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Push to Connect and Solder Connect

Insulated Copper Tubing
- Temperature Range: -290° to 220° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression and Solder Connect
Often used in heating and cooling systems, this tubing insulates refrigerant to efficiently transfer heat between components. It's frequently referred to as refrigeration and air conditioning tubing. This tubing consists of a copper tube insulated in rubber. The copper tubing resists corrosion and has excellent heat transfer qualities. The outer insulation has a closed-cell design, so it prevents moisture from seeping through and corroding the copper tubing. This tubing is generally rigid because of the copper tubing inside and is stronger than plastic and rubber tubing. Use it in medium- to high-pressure applications.

Copper Tubing with Coated Interior
- Temperature Range: -100° to 400° F
- Bending Method: By Hand
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression
The inside of this tubing is lined with 99% pure tin for added corrosion resistance. It is seamless, so it has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow.
Copper Tubing with Coated Exterior for Natural and LP Gas
- Temperature Range: -90° to 210° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Flared
Copper offers good corrosion resistance, and the polyethylene coating provides an additional protective layer. Tubing has markings to identify it as a gas line. It is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting. The tube OD dimension does not include the coating; you must remove the coating to attach fittings.
