Copper Type K Tubing

Mueller Industries KH06005 is straight seamless copper tubing made to ASTM B88 Type K dimensions. It measures 7/8 in outside diameter with a 0.065 in wall and runs 5 ft in length. The alloy is C12200 phosphorus-deoxidised copper supplied in hard temper. It carries NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372 certifications for potable water contact.

Replaces thinner-wall types

Type K wall thickness exceeds Type L and Type M at the same nominal size, so it handles higher pressure and more aggressive soil conditions. The 682 psi rating at 200 Degrees F and 400 Degrees F maximum temperature cover most residential and light-commercial hot-water loops. The jump is worth it when code requires Type K or when burial, vibration or thermal cycling demand the heaviest standard wall.

Suits installers needing certified Type K

Plumbers and mechanical contractors who must meet ASTM B88 Type K for water-service, hydronic or fire-protection lines will use this length. Builders who need coiled tubing, smaller diameters or Type L wall for cost savings should look at other stock. The straight 5 ft stick also does not suit jobs requiring pre-bent runs or longer continuous coils.

Questions about this item

What outside diameter and length does the KH06005 copper tube have?

The tube measures 7/8 in outside diameter and comes in a 5 ft straight length.

How do you join the 0.065 in wall Type K tube, and what step is often missed?

Clean the ends, apply flux, then solder with a torch; the step often missed is deburring and cleaning the inside of each joint before heating.

When should the C12200 copper tubing be inspected or replaced?

Inspect joints annually for green corrosion or leaks; replace any section that shows pitting, kinking, or pressure loss above the 682 psi rating at 200 °F.
