Value Brand 9511 Copper Tubing Type K

This copper tubing suits general-purpose plumbing and automotive fluid lines. The Type K wall provides the thickest standard copper wall for high-pressure or underground use. It is sold in a straight 3 ft length with a 3/16 in outside diameter. The hard temper keeps the tube rigid during installation.

Upgrading from thinner-walled copper

Type K replaces Type L or Type M when system pressure or burial depth demands maximum wall thickness. The jump is worth it when local code requires Type K for water service or when the line runs under concrete. The ASTM B251 standard confirms the material and dimensional tolerances.

Handles high-pressure water service

The .014 in wall and .159 in inside diameter give ample flow capacity for residential supply branches. Headroom exists for typical municipal pressure spikes and thermal expansion. It runs out on long runs needing larger volume or where flexible coil stock is preferred for tight bends.

Questions about this item

What fitting size matches the 3/16 in outside diameter of this Type K copper tubing?

Use fittings sized for 3/16 in OD; the tube has a .159 in inside diameter and .014 in wall thickness.

How do I cut and deburr the 3 ft straight length without kinking the hard-temper copper?

Cut square with a tubing cutter, then ream the inside and outside edges to remove burrs before flaring or inserting into compression fittings.

When should I replace this tubing if it develops green patina or pinhole leaks?

Replace any section showing green corrosion, pinholes, or flattening; Type K copper resists wear but is not immune to aggressive water chemistry.
