Straight copper trap for potable water

This 3/4 inch outside-diameter Type K copper tube runs two feet in a straight, seamless form. The hard-temper C12200 copper meets ASTM B88, NSF 372 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking-water systems. It suits plumbers and contractors installing or repairing supply lines that require rigid, code-compliant tubing.

Sustained pressure and temperature performance

Rated for 589 psi at 200 degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F, the tube maintains integrity under continuous hot-water circulation. The .049 inch wall thickness and .625 inch inside diameter preserve flow without deformation during prolonged thermal cycling.

Replaces softer or thinner-walled tubing

Use this Type K trap when upgrading from Type L or M copper where higher pressure margins or abrasion resistance are required. The hard temper and seamless fabrication eliminate the risk of split seams that can occur with welded alternatives. Not suited for applications needing pre-bent coils or capped, cleaned ends.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the Type K copper tubing handle during continuous hot-water circulation?

The tubing is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 400 Degrees F, so it will withstand typical hot-water circulation temperatures without softening or degrading.

What fittings or tools do I need to connect this 3/4 in OD seamless copper tube?

You will need 5/8 in copper tube size (CTS) fittings — such as solder, press, or compression types — plus a tubing cutter, deburring tool, and flux or press jaws matched to the 0.049 in wall thickness.

Will this hard-temper Type K tube work with existing 5/8 in CTS plumbing installed to ASTM B88?

Yes, it meets ASTM B88 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, so it is dimensionally and materially compatible with existing 5/8 in CTS copper systems built to the same standard.
