Straight copper tubing with 3/8 inch outside diameter and 5 ft length for potable water systems

  • Product typeDrain Components
  • Main materialCopper
  • Seamless copper construction meets ASTM B88 quality standards
  • Hard-temper C12200 alloy withstands 860 psi at 200 °F
  • NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF 372 certified for potable water
  • 5-foot straight length with 3/8 in OD and .035 in wall
  • .25 in inside diameter supports reliable flow in drain applications

5-foot Type K copper tubing

This seamless copper tube is manufactured to ASTM B88 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standards for potable-water systems. It has a 3/8-inch outside diameter and a 0.035-inch wall thickness in a straight 5-foot length. The C12200 alloy suits residential and light-commercial plumbing installations.

Hard-temper performance under pressure

The hard-drawn temper maintains structural integrity at a maximum operating pressure of 860 psi at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It withstands continuous exposure up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit without annealing or loss of strength. The seamless fabrication eliminates potential leak paths during sustained thermal cycling.

Solder-joint and code constraints

The 0.25-inch inside diameter limits flow capacity for high-demand fixtures. Type K wall thickness meets code requirements for underground and harsh-environment runs where thinner types would not comply. The tube is supplied uncleaned and uncapped, so the installer must prepare ends before soldering to NSF 372 lead-free standards.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.035 in wall thickness handle continuous 400 °F operation without softening?

The hard-temper C12200 copper is rated for 400 °F maximum operating temperature and 860 psi at 200 °F, so it retains strength at elevated heat.

Which fittings and tools do I need to join 3/8 in OD seamless copper tube?

Use 1/4 in CTS compression or flare fittings and a tubing cutter plus deburring tool for leak-free joints.

Can this ASTM B88 Type K tube connect directly to older 3/8 in OD copper lines in my system?

Yes, the 3/8 in outside diameter and 0.25 in inside diameter match legacy Type K dimensions for direct coupling.
