Mueller Industries KH14010 Copper Round Tube 1.625in Od

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES KH14010 is a copper round tube with a 1.625-inch outside diameter and a 10-foot length, designed for use in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing applications. It features a 1.5-inch inside diameter and a 0.072-inch wall thickness, delivering consistent dimensional accuracy for field fabrication and installation. Copper construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with standard soldering and brazing techniques. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics commonly work with this tubing when building or repairing fluid and refrigerant line sets, drain assemblies, or hydronic piping systems.

This tube is suited for residential and commercial installations where a 1.625-inch OD copper round tube is specified. It is frequently used in refrigerant suction line applications, chilled water systems, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 10-foot length allows for single-run installations with minimal joining in tight spaces. Installers working on split systems, fan coil units, and similar equipment will find this size appropriate for larger-capacity equipment suction lines.

Key Features

• 1.625-inch outside diameter for use in larger-capacity HVAC and refrigeration line sets
• 1.5-inch inside diameter with a 0.072-inch wall thickness for structural integrity and flow capacity
• 10-foot straight length reduces field joining requirements
• Copper construction supports soldering, brazing, and standard mechanical fittings
• Consistent wall thickness supports accurate field cutting and flaring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and field-use copper round tube for HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications requiring a 1.625-inch outside diameter straight copper tube section.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or plumber in accordance with applicable local codes, ASHRAE standards, and IFGC or IPC requirements as relevant to the application. Shut off all system power and isolate refrigerant or fluid pressure before cutting into or connecting to an active system. Use a sharp tubing cutter to ensure clean, square cuts, and deburr all cut ends before fitting assembly. Brazing of refrigerant lines requires proper nitrogen purge procedures to prevent internal oxidation scale.
