Copper Tubing for Potable Water Systems

This 5-foot straight length of Type L copper tubing carries an outside diameter of 3/8 inch and a 0.25-inch bore. It is manufactured from C12200 copper to ASTM B88 and meets NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372 for drinking-water use. The seamless construction is rated for 729 psi at 200 degrees Fahrenheit with a maximum service temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Installers Needing Hard-Drawn Straight Lengths

The hard temper makes this tube suitable for exposed runs where rigidity is required, and the 5-foot stick reduces joints in short installations. It is not cleaned or capped, so internal debris must be flushed before commissioning. Plumbers who need pre-flared, pre-bent or soft-annealed coil stock should select a different product form.

No Accessories or Software Included

The tube ships as a bare length with no fittings, flux, solder or insulation supplied. Installers must provide compatible copper fittings, brazing or soldering consumables and any required hangers or insulation separately. There are no digital components, firmware or software associated with this product.

Questions about this item

What size flare or compression fittings do I need for the 3/8 in outside diameter copper tubing?

Use fittings sized for 3/8 in OD tubing, which corresponds to 1/4 in copper tube size; the .03 in wall thickness and hard temper require a flaring tool rated for Type L copper.

Can I join this hard-temper Type L copper to existing soft copper lines without annealing?

The tubing is hard temper, so sweat soldering with standard flux and lead-free alloy works, but compression or push-fit fittings rated for hard copper are simpler if you prefer not to anneal.

How do I confirm the 5 ft length meets code after installation?

Measure the installed run; the tubing is marked ASTM B88 and certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372, confirming it meets potable-water standards for the full 5 ft.
