Copper pipes are commonly used in the construction industry for
residential water supply lines and sometimes for drain and vent
lines. Copper pipes can be manufactured as soft or rigid copper and
they offer excellent corrosion resistance and reliable connections.
The copper pipe is considered a sturdier building material that has
a longer lifespan—lasting up to 70 years.
The three most common types of copper pipe used in residential and
commercial construction are Type K, Type L, and Type M. A fourth
type, used for drain-waste-vent, or DWV, piping, is found most
often in some older homes.
| Type | Fitting Methods | Flexible form available | Common Use |
| Type K | •Soldered •Compression •Push-fit •Press-connect •Flare (flexible
pipe) | Yes | Main water lines, underground lines |
| Type L | •Soldered •Compression •Push-fit •Press-connect •Flare (flexible
pipe) | Yes | Branch water supply lines |
| Type M | •Soldered •Compression •Push-fit •Press-connect | No | Branch water supply lines |
| DWV | Soldered, Slip-joint | No | DWV plumbing lines |
What Are the Advantages of Using Copper Pipes?
Copper pipes are strong. Their slight elasticity resists snapping.
Their strength and flexibility makes them a good choice for those
who live in an earthquake zone where pipes might be tested during a
temblor.
Copper naturally resists bacteria. That’s a good trait since it
helps keep water clean. Copper doesn’t burn or release harmful
gases during fires. Some people value copper because it can be
recycled and is considered environmentally friendly.
Copper is a good choice for pipes exposed to light. This type of
metal isn’t damaged by exposure to ultraviolet light.
Why Choose Us?
1. We have more than 10 years of experience in copper pipe
production and complete testing equipment. The pipe's blasting
pressure, tensile strength and elongation are all above the
national standard. Ensure stable quality of ex-factory products and
meet the requirements of users under various natural conditions.
2. Through the strict control of the production process and mold
management, the wall thickness of the copper tube is ensured to be
more uniform, which makes it more resistant to pressure and more
durable.Copper tubes with uniform wall thickness can withstand
greater pressure, lower probability of blasting leakage, longer
service life, and customers have more choices of wall thickness.
3. Our copper tubes are all produced with high purity electrolytic
copper plate (purity more than 99.95%), with excellent surface
quality, no inclusion, trachoma, cracking and other phenomena,
eliminating the possibility of refrigerant leakage in these
defective places.
