It measures 3\/8 inch outside diameter with a 1\/4 inch nominal size, 0.25 inch inside diameter, and a 0.035 inch wall thickness. The tube ships in a 10-foot straight length and weighs approximately 0.145 pounds per foot, totaling 1.45 pounds. Type K designation indicates the heaviest wall thickness in the standard copper tube series, making it suitable for demanding underground and general plumbing service. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this tube in potable water supply, hydronic heating, and refrigeration-adjacent applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tube is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where Type K copper is specified or required by local code. Common applications include underground water service lines, in-slab installations, and above-ground domestic hot and cold water distribution. Its C12200 alloy composition and conformance to ASTM B88 and NSF 61G make it appropriate for potable water contact. The 10-foot straight length is well suited for above-grade rough-in work and short service runs where coiled tube is not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType K wall thickness (0.035 inches) provides the heaviest wall in the standard copper tube series for added durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC12200 phosphorus-deoxidized copper alloy resists corrosion in water service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM B88, NSF 61G, and UNS C12200 standards for potable water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch OD with 0.25 inch ID — straight 10-foot length ready for cut-to-fit installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.145 pounds per foot weight allows straightforward handling and bending with standard tube benders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply copper tube for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring Type K copper per ASTM B88 specification in 3\/8 inch outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into an existing line. Use a sharp tube cutter to produce a clean, square cut, and ream the cut end before soldering or making a compression fitting connection. Avoid over-bending without a proper tube bender, as kinking will compromise flow and structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water (K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C12200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Per Foot\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.145 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM B88, NSF 61G, UNS C12200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MUELLER INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KH02010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540999405874,"sku":"KH02010","price":44.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc97323da66074fd860199c909a8af11_cb4c154c-39a6-433b-9366-972116af2eb6.jpg?v=1785867163","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-industries-kh02010-copper-water-tube-type-k-3-8-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
