  • ASTM B88 and NSF certifications confirm potable-water suitability
  • 589 psi rating at 200 °F handles high-pressure systems
  • Five-foot straight length simplifies long-run installations

Straight copper tubing for potable water

This 5 ft length of Type K copper tubing carries a 3/4 in outside diameter and a 0.625 in inside diameter. It meets ASTM B88 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standards for drinking water systems. The seamless C12200 copper construction suits residential and light commercial supply lines.

Hard-drawn temper handles pressure and temperature

Rated to 589 psi at 200 °F with a maximum operating temperature of 400 °F, the tubing resists deformation under normal service conditions. A 0.049 in wall thickness provides structural rigidity without external insulation requirements. The bare copper surface produces no coating off-gassing.

Seamless straight form simplifies layout

The 5 ft straight stick reduces joint count in long runs and fits standard 5/8 in copper tube size fittings. No cleaning or capping is applied at the factory, so installers prepare ends on site. Hard temper limits bending, so plan angles with compatible elbows rather than field forming.

Questions about this item

How do I join the 3/4 in OD Type K copper tubing without kinking the 0.049 in wall?

Use a proper tube cutter for a square cut, deburr inside and out, then flare or sweat-solder with flux approved for potable water; support the 5 ft length every 6 ft to prevent sag that stresses joints.

What fitting replacement will the 5/8 in CTS Type K line need over time?

Flared or soldered joints on the 0.625 in ID tubing may require re-flaring or new copper fittings if corrosion or thermal cycling loosens the seal; the seamless C12200 tube itself rarely needs replacement.

At what temperature does the 589 psi pressure rating on this hard-temper K tube become the limiting factor?

The 589 psi maximum operating pressure is rated at 200 °F; at the 400 °F maximum operating temperature the allowable pressure drops, so sustained high-temperature use hits the pressure derating first.
