Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES MH24010 is a Type M copper water tube manufactured from Grade C12200 phosphorus-deoxidized copper. It measures 2-5/8 inches outside diameter with a 2-1/2 inch nominal size, a 2.5 inch inside diameter, and a 0.065 inch wall thickness. The tube ships in a 10-foot length and weighs approximately 2.03 pounds per foot, with a total package weight of 20.3 pounds. Type M copper tube is widely used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems for potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and general fluid conveyance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this product.

This tube is suited for residential and commercial water supply and distribution systems where Type M wall thickness meets local code requirements. The 2-1/2 inch nominal size accommodates higher-flow applications such as main service lines, large building supply runs, and commercial plumbing risers. The C12200 alloy designation confirms high-purity, phosphorus-deoxidized copper, which is compatible with soldered, brazed, and press-fit joining methods. One 10-foot length is included per package.
