Copper Type K Tubing for Potable Water

This straight copper tube meets ASTM B88, NSF 372 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standards for potable-water systems. The seamless C12200 alloy construction with a hard temper suits residential and light-commercial plumbing installations. It arrives in a 2 ft length with a 1/2 in outside diameter and 0.375 in inside diameter.

Pressure and Temperature Performance

The tubing withstands a maximum operating pressure of 904 psi at 200 Degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 400 Degrees F. Its 0.049 in wall thickness and Type K rating maintain structural integrity under sustained high-pressure and high-temperature conditions without deformation.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your system design calls for 3/8 in copper tube size with 1/2 in outside diameter and hard-temper Type K specification. Confirm that local codes accept ASTM B88 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 compliance for the intended potable-water application. Ensure jointing method matches the seamless, uncapped straight form supplied.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the 1/2 in OD Type K copper trap handle during continuous hot-water service?

The tubing is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 400 Degrees F and a maximum operating pressure of 904 psi at 200 Degrees F, so it will withstand typical residential and commercial hot-water loops without softening.

What fittings or tools do I need to connect this 2 ft straight length to my existing 3/8 in CTS plumbing?

Because the tube is seamless C12200 copper with a 0.049 in wall and 1/2 in outside diameter, you can join it with standard 3/8 in CTS compression, flare or solder fittings — no proprietary connectors are required.

Will this NSF 61 and NSF 372 listed trap work safely alongside older copper supply lines in a potable-water system?

Yes, the tubing meets ASTM B88, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372 for lead-free potable water, so it can be soldered or pressed directly to existing copper piping without creating a galvanic or compliance issue.
