Copper Type K Tubing 1/2 in CTS

This straight copper tubing is manufactured to Type K specifications with a 1/2 in copper tube size and 5/8 in outside diameter. It suits potable water systems and general plumbing installations where a rigid, seamless copper tube is required. The 2 ft length provides a manageable section for repairs or short runs.

Wall Thickness 0.049 in and 713 psi Rating

The tube wall measures 0.049 in thick, giving a maximum operating pressure of 713 psi at 200 Degrees F and a maximum temperature of 400 Degrees F. This pressure rating is the critical figure that determines whether the tubing meets the design pressure of the intended water supply or heating circuit.

Seamless Hard Temper Copper

Seamless construction and hard temper mean the tube holds its shape during bending but requires a proper tube bender to avoid kinking. Common issues include flattening the tube if bent by hand, using the wrong flare tool for the 5/8 in OD, or failing to deburr the cut end before making a joint.

Questions about this item

What does the 713 psi @ 200 °F rating mean once the tube is installed?

The tube can safely handle up to 713 psi at 200 °F in service, covering typical hot-water and heating circuits.

Which standards cap what this straight copper tube can be used for?

It meets ASTM B88 for dimensions, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking-water safety and NSF 372 for low-lead compliance.

What physical clearance and support does a 2 ft length with 5/8 in outside diameter need?

Allow at least 5/8 in for the tube itself plus room for fittings; support spans per plumbing code for 1/2 in CTS Type K copper.
