Mueller Industries KS03060 Seamless Copper Tube 1/2 in Od 60 Ft

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES KS03060 is a seamless copper tube used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. It measures 0.5 inches outside diameter with a 0.402-inch inside diameter and a 0.049-inch wall thickness. The tube is 60 feet long and weighs approximately 16.14 pounds per coil, yielding a linear weight of 0.269 pounds per foot. Manufactured from C12200 phosphorus deoxidized copper, this tube meets ASTM B88 and NSF 61G standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this product in domestic water supply, hydronic heating, refrigeration, and gas distribution applications where a leak-free, corrosion-resistant line is required.

This tube is suited for residential and light commercial installations. Its 60-foot length reduces the number of fittings and joints needed in long runs, lowering potential leak points. The C12200 copper alloy is compatible with standard solder, braze, and press fittings. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, radiant floor heating circuits, refrigerant suction and liquid lines, and medical gas piping where NSF 61G compliance is specified. The nominal 3/8-inch designation applies in some sizing conventions, so confirm the 0.5-inch OD measurement against project drawings before ordering.

Key Features

• Seamless construction eliminates longitudinal weld seams for consistent wall integrity under pressure
• C12200 phosphorus deoxidized copper alloy resists corrosion in water and refrigerant service
• 0.049-inch wall thickness provides a balance of pressure rating and formability
• 60-foot coil length minimizes field joints on long straight or curved runs
• Meets ASTM B88 and NSF 61G standards for potable water and mechanical piping
• Linear weight of 0.269 pounds per foot aids load and hanger spacing calculations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard solder-cup, braze, and press fittings sized for 0.5-inch OD copper tube in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and gas piping systems where ASTM B88 Type K seamless copper is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with the International Plumbing Code, IFGC, or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use a sharp tube cutter to avoid deforming the wall; ream cut ends to full inside diameter before fitting assembly. Support spacing should follow code-required hanger intervals for copper tube to prevent sag and vibration stress.
