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.

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.
