Copper Type K tubing for potable water

This 5 ft straight length of seamless copper tubing is made to ASTM B88 Type K dimensions with a 1/2 in outside diameter and 0.375 in inside diameter. It is rated for 904 psi at 200 Degrees F and up to 400 Degrees F maximum operating temperature. The C12200 alloy meets NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372 for drinking-water safety.

Cleaned and capped status affects installation

The tube ships uncleaned and uncapped, so debris or oxidation may be present on the interior surface. Installers should flush or swab the bore before assembly, especially in potable-water systems where cleanliness is required by code. No protective coating or lubricant is applied at the factory.

Verify system pressure and fitting compatibility

Confirm that the 904 psi rating at 200 Degrees F exceeds your design pressure and that the 0.049 in wall thickness matches the fittings you plan to use. The hard temper prevents easy bending; ensure you have the tooling for sweat, flare or press connections on 3/8 in CTS Type K tube. Buyers who need pre-cleaned, capped or annealed tube cannot use this product as supplied.

Questions about this item

Does the hard-tempered C12200 copper need any treatment to keep its 904 psi rating over time?

The tube is seamless hard-temper C12200 copper and carries ASTM B88, NSF 372 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 markings; no periodic treatment is required to maintain the rated pressure.

What stops me from running it at the 400 °F maximum temperature continuously?

The 904 psi pressure rating is specified at 200 °F; above that temperature the allowable working pressure drops, so pressure — not temperature alone — becomes the first limit.

Will the 0.049 in wall transmit vibration noise from a pump running all day?

Hard-drawn seamless copper with a 0.049 in wall is rigid and dampens vibration well; no additional noise is typically generated by the tube itself.
