Mueller Industries LH06005 Copper Round Tube 7/8 in Od 5 Ft

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES LH06005 is a straight copper round tube manufactured from Alloy 122 (phosphorus-deoxidized copper), supplied in a 5-foot length with a 7/8-inch outside diameter. Wall thickness measures 0.045 inches, yielding a 3/4-inch inside diameter. Alloy 122 offers high thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, making it a standard material choice in fluid-handling and refrigerant-line applications. This tube is cut to length and ready for brazing, flaring, or swaging. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics regularly stock this size for field fabrication and service work.

This tube size is widely used in residential and light-commercial plumbing systems, HVAC refrigerant lines, and hydronic heating applications. The 7/8-inch OD is a common size in ACR (air conditioning and refrigeration) work, fitting standard fittings and couplings designed for that dimension. It is also used in domestic water distribution and radiant heating installations where copper tube is specified. The 5-foot length is practical for bench work, short runs, and repair sections where a full 20-foot stick is unnecessary.

Key Features

• Alloy 122 phosphorus-deoxidized copper — suitable for brazing without flux on the base material
• 7/8-inch OD with 0.045-inch wall thickness for consistent dimensional accuracy
• 3/4-inch inside diameter provides adequate flow area for refrigerant and fluid service
• 5-foot length reduces waste on short runs and repair applications
• Compatible with standard ACR and plumbing fittings sized for 7/8-inch OD tube

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and field-service copper tube for use with standard 7/8-inch OD copper fittings, couplings, and adapters in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC-refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or ASHRAE standards. Shut off the water supply or recover refrigerant fully before cutting into an existing line. Use a clean tube cutter to avoid deforming the tube end, and deburr the ID after cutting before inserting into fittings. Alloy 122 tube is compatible with silver-alloy brazing materials; follow proper brazing procedures and fire safety precautions when working in enclosed spaces.
