Medium-Pressure Copper Tubing for Drinking Water
This Type L tubing has thicker walls than Type M tubing to handle higher pressures. It is also known as copper pipe. Tubing has good corrosion resistance and excellent heat transfer qualities. It is seamless, so it has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It meets NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water systems.
Coiled tubing can be flared without splitting.
Note: Copper tube size is an accepted industry designation, not an actual size.

Copper Tubing with Coated Exterior for Natural and LP Gas
- Temperature Range: -90° to 210° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Flared
Copper offers good corrosion resistance, and the polyethylene coating provides an additional protective layer. Tubing has markings to identify it as a gas line. It is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting. The tube OD dimension does not include the coating; you must remove the coating to attach fittings.
