Type L Rigid Copper Pipe (20 ft. Straight Lengths)
Engineered for heavier duty services inside critical residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing architectures, our Type L Rigid Copper Pipe offers enhanced wall thickness for outstanding pressure management and structural longevity. Supplied in 20-foot hard-drawn (rigid) straight lengths, this piping line features a mirror-smooth interior bore that delivers peak volumetric flow rates while actively resisting internal scale accumulation, oxidation, and pitting.
Extruded from high-purity, seamless alloy C12200 deoxidized high-phosphorus (DHP) copper matching strict ASTM B88 benchmarks, this thicker-wall copper pipe provides the reliable structural mass required for long-term potable water delivery, gas lines, and high-performance heating infrastructure.
Key System Performance Baselines:
- Application Profile: Optimized for commercial hot/cold potable water loops, underground water service lines, compressed gas lines, and demanding hydronic heating/cooling arrays.
- Heavy-Wall Performance: Thicker geometric cross-section than Type M offers superior working pressure thresholds and added resistance against aggressive water chemistry.
- Material Purity: Manufactured from ≥ 99.9% pure, lead-free wrot copper compound that is naturally bacteriostatic and handles severe thermal expansion cleanly.
- Connection Compatibility: Built for flawless integration using standard solder fittings, brazing methods, or code-compliant press mechanical joints.
- Trade Compliance: Fully certified to ASTM B88 standards and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 requirements for clean, safe potable water service.
⚠️ Engineering Disclaimer: Type L copper pipe features a color-coded blue identification line and is rated for higher-pressure services. Always verify local mechanical building and plumbing codes regarding specific underground burial, exposure, or high-pressure gas application parameters before final assembly.
