Mueller Industries dy06100 Copper Tube 3/8 in Od 100 Ft

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES dy06100 is a plastic-coated copper tube designed for installations where bare copper requires protection from corrosive environments. The tube features a minimum 0.025 inch polyethylene coating extruded directly onto the copper, delivering consistent corrosion resistance along the full length. This coil is 3/8 inch OD and 100 feet long, making it practical for runs that require burial or routing through potentially aggressive building materials. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas piping installers use this product where code or site conditions call for protected copper tube without additional field wrapping.

This tube is suitable for residential and light commercial applications involving underground burial, reclaimed water service lines, and natural gas distribution piping. Some building insulation materials and soils contain chemicals that attack unprotected copper over time. The factory-applied polyethylene coating eliminates the need for field taping or sleeving, reducing labor time and producing a clean, consistent finish. It is well-suited for tight crawl spaces, direct-bury gas lines, and any scenario where the copper will contact potentially corrosive materials.

Key Features

• Minimum 0.025 inch polyethylene coating extruded directly onto copper for uniform corrosion protection
• Eliminates field taping and sleeving, reducing on-site labor
• Suitable for buried installations, reclaimed water applications, and natural gas piping
• Continuously marked with size, specification, and footage every 2 feet for easy measurement and inspection
• Manufactured to ASTM and NFPA standards

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-burial and corrosion-protected copper tube replacement for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications requiring polyethylene-coated copper per applicable ASTM and NFPA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas piping technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code, and NFPA 54 for gas applications. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Do not use abrasive tools or sharp bends that could damage the polyethylene coating during handling or installation. Inspect the coating along the full run before burial to verify no punctures or abrasions are present.
