Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES MH10005 is a Type M copper water tube manufactured from Grade C12200 phosphorus deoxidized copper. This 5-foot length measures 1-1/8 inches outside diameter with a 1.0000 inch inside diameter and a 0.035 inch wall thickness, yielding a weight of 0.464 pounds per foot. Type M copper tube is the standard choice for residential and light commercial potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and general plumbing applications. It meets ASTM B88, NSF 61G, and UNS C12200 standards, making it suitable for systems where water quality certification is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this product.

This tube is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems for cold and hot water supply lines, hydronic radiant and baseboard heating loops, and general fluid handling applications. The 1-inch nominal size is one of the most commonly specified sizes in residential construction and retrofit plumbing work. Its C12200 copper alloy composition supports soldering and brazing connections using standard plumbing fittings and techniques. The 5-foot length is suited for short runs, repair sections, or cut-to-length fabrication at the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes.
