Mueller Industries lh14020 Copper Type L Pipe 1-1/2 in X 20 Ft

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES lh14020 is a Type L copper pipe in a 1-1/2 inch diameter by 20 foot straight length, designed for above-ground potable water supply systems. Type L copper sits between the heavier Type K and the lighter Type M in wall thickness, making it the standard choice for residential and light commercial domestic water distribution. The pipe is continuously marked with size and type identification and is color-coded for fast visual confirmation during rough-in. It conforms to ASTM standards and is manufactured from high-grade copper with an incised marking that remains legible throughout the service life of the installation.

This pipe is suited for above-ground potable water supply applications in residential and commercial plumbing systems. It is appropriate for hot and cold water distribution lines, branch and riser runs, and other pressure water service work where Type L wall thickness is specified by code or design. The continuous markings and color coding help inspectors and installers verify material type quickly on the job site without referencing documentation.
