Manufactured from Grade C12200 phosphorus deoxidized copper, it measures 7\/8 inches OD with a 0.750 inch ID and a 0.065 inch wall thickness in a 5-foot straight length. Type K carries the heaviest wall of the standard copper tube series, making it the preferred choice where maximum pressure ratings or buried underground service are required. Weighing 0.641 pounds per foot, this tube meets ASTM B88 and NSF 61G standards, confirming suitability for drinking water contact. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tube is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, including domestic hot and cold water distribution, radiant and hydronic heating loops, and underground or direct-burial water service lines where Type K wall thickness is specified or required by local code. The 5-foot straight length is common in retrofit and repair work where full 20-foot sticks are unnecessary. The C12200 alloy maintains excellent solderability and brazeability, supporting standard sweat-joint and press-fit connections used throughout the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType K wall thickness at 0.065 inches for maximum pressure capacity among standard copper tube types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade C12200 phosphorus deoxidized copper for reliable soldering and brazing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSF 61G listed for potable water contact in drinking water system applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM B88 standard specification for seamless copper water tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch OD fits standard 3\/4 inch nominal fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-foot straight length suits service, repair, and short-run installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock straight tube for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring 3\/4 inch nominal Type K copper water tube per ASTM B88.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use a sharp tubing cutter to achieve a clean, square cut, and ream the cut end fully before soldering or brazing to remove burrs that restrict flow. Do not use open-flame torch work near combustible materials without proper shielding, and verify joint integrity before restoring pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water, Type K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, Grade C12200 (UNS C12200)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches (0.875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.065 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight per Foot\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.641 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.205 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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: KH06005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541308703026,"sku":"KH06005","price":88.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc97323da66074fd860199c909a8af11_d8430e24-64e1-4bfd-a1e2-0697d6a2bf4f.jpg?v=1785872012","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-industries-kh06005-copper-water-tube-type-k-5-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
