Description
Copper Type L Hard Tubing - Custom Cut Lengths
Streamline your plumbing and HVAC projects with our Type L Copper Tube Custom Cut Lengths, tailored to your exact specifications. Meeting ASTM B88 standards, these medium-wall copper tubes offer excellent corrosion resistance and versatility for potable water lines, HVAC systems, and refrigeration applications. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial installations, Type L copper balances strength and flexibility, perfect for above-ground and select underground projects requiring precise lengths.
Type L: This refers to the thickness of the pipe’s walls. Copper pipes are classified by wall thickness into three main types: Type K, Type L, and Type M, with Type K having the thickest walls, followed by Type L, and Type M having the thinnest. Type L copper pipe strikes a balance between strength and flexibility, making it a versatile choice for many applications. Its wall thickness allows it to handle moderate pressure, while still being relatively easy to work with compared to Type K.
Copper: Type L pipes are made of copper, which is corrosion-resistant, highly conductive (for both heat and electricity), and durable. Copper is widely used in plumbing systems, HVAC, and even in industrial applications due to its reliability.
Common Uses of Type L Copper Pipe:
Plumbing: Type L copper pipes are commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems for water supply lines because of their durability and resistance to corrosion.
Heating and Cooling: They're also used in heating systems and refrigerant lines in HVAC systems.
Gas Lines: In some cases, Type L copper pipes are used for gas lines, though local codes may vary, and other materials may be preferred in certain situations.
Key Characteristics:
Moderate Pressure Rating: Type L copper pipe is suitable for applications where moderate pressure is expected but doesn’t require the heavy-duty nature of Type K.
Flexibility and Durability: The pipe is easy to bend and work with, but still strong enough to handle daily wear and tear in plumbing or HVAC systems.
Note: Custom Cut Pipe & Tube is Non-Returnable
