Cerro Flow Products Llc 1538 Type L Hard Copper Tube

Product Description

The CERRO FLOW PRODUCTS LLC 1538 is a Type L hard copper tube measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length. Type L copper is a mid-wall-thickness designation widely used in commercial and residential plumbing, hydronic heating, and refrigeration applications. The hard-drawn temper provides rigid, straight runs without requiring annealing before bending. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this tube for water supply lines, drain connections, and refrigerant piping where a durable, pressure-rated copper tube is required. This product is sold in a package of 10 pieces, for a total of 50 feet of tube per package.

Type L hard copper tube in the 0.5-inch size is a standard choice for domestic water service lines, hot and cold supply risers, and light commercial plumbing systems. It is also commonly used in HVAC applications for refrigerant lines and hydronic coil connections where rigid copper runs are preferred over flexible alternatives. The hard-drawn temper makes it well suited for straight runs between fittings in exposed or concealed installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply copper tube compatible with 0.5-inch Type L sweat, press-fit, and flare fittings used in commercial and residential plumbing and HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of copper tube for water supply or refrigerant lines should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local mechanical code. Shut off the water supply or recover refrigerant from the system before cutting or joining any tube. Use a sharp tube cutter to produce a clean, square cut and ream all cut ends to full inside diameter before soldering, pressing, or flaring. Avoid overheating joints during soldering, as excessive heat can compromise the tube wall.
