Mueller Industries LH10002 Type L Copper Tube 1-1/8 in Od

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES LH10002 is a Type L copper water tube manufactured from Grade C12200 phosphorus-deoxidized copper. The tube measures 2 feet in length with an outside diameter of 1-1/8 inches, an inside diameter of 1 inch, and a wall thickness of 0.05 inches. Type L designation indicates a medium-wall thickness suitable for interior water distribution, hydronic heating lines, and general plumbing applications. At 0.655 pounds per foot, this tube offers the balance of structural integrity and workability that licensed plumbers rely on for soldered, brazed, or press-fit connections in residential and light commercial systems.

This tube is used in potable water supply lines, recirculation systems, and hydronic heating installations where Type L copper is the specified or code-required material. Its 1-inch nominal size is one of the most common diameters found in residential main trunk lines and branch runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians installing hydronic systems will recognize this as a standard off-the-shelf length for short runs or repair work where a full 20-foot stick is unnecessary.

Key Features

• Grade C12200 copper provides excellent corrosion resistance and solderability for potable water service
• Type L medium-wall construction at 0.05 inches wall thickness meets common plumbing code requirements
• 1-inch nominal size fits standard sweat, press, and compression fittings rated for 1-inch copper
• 2-foot length minimizes waste on short runs, repair sections, and custom cut-in work
• Weight of 0.655 pounds per foot allows straightforward handling and field cutting with a tube cutter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock tube for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring 1-inch nominal Type L copper water tube per ASTM B88 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of copper water tube should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any live line. Use a sharp tube cutter to achieve a clean, square cut, then deburr the inside edge before fitting assembly. Soldered joints require proper flux application and heat distribution; brazed joints for higher-pressure or hydronic applications require appropriate filler alloy selection per the applicable code.
