  • TypeDrain Components
  • Seamless copper construction ensures leak-free durability

Copper Type L Tubing for Potable Water

This seamless copper tube meets ASTM B88 and NSF standards for potable water systems. The hard temper and C12200 grade provide reliable strength for permanent installations. It suits plumbers and contractors running supply lines in residential or commercial projects.

Pressure Rating and Thermal Limits

The tube handles up to 577 psi at 200 degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F. Seamless fabrication and a .04 in wall thickness maintain integrity under normal service conditions. No coating or cap is applied, leaving the copper surface ready for solder or press connections.

Replaces Softer or Shorter Lengths

This 5 ft straight length upgrades from coiled or annealed tubing that can kink during long runs. The hard temper holds alignment without extra supports. The jump is worth it when a straight, rigid stick simplifies layout and reduces joint count.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5/8 in OD copper tubing and what step is often missed?

Cut the 5 ft straight length to size, deburr the 0.5 in inside diameter, clean both ends, then solder using flux and lead-free alloy rated for potable water; the step often missed is thorough deburring, which prevents turbulence and leaks at the joint.

What maintenance or replacement will the C12200 copper tubing need over time?

The seamless C12200 copper resists corrosion in potable water; inspect annually for green patina or pitting at joints, and replace any section that shows wall loss exceeding the 0.04 in nominal thickness or fails a pressure test at 577 psi.

What limit appears first during sustained high-temperature use?

The 400 °F maximum operating temperature is the first hard limit; above it the hard-temper copper anneals, losing strength and reducing the 577 psi pressure rating, so keep continuous service below 400 °F.
