Understanding the Variety of Copper Pipe Types
There are many different types of copper pipe, many specifically designed to meet various needs for water supply and plumbing applications. Our inventory stocks the most widely used copper pipe types, including:
Type K
Copper Pipe
This is the thickest and heaviest of the copper pipe types and is best-suited for main water lines and underground installations in water distribution, fire protection, oil, HVAC, and many other industrial applications. Type K is the most expensive and is identifiable by a green stamp.
Type L
Copper Pipe
Type L is slightly thinner than Type K and is commonly used for interior water supply lines. Available in rigid and flexible forms, it is the most common type of copper pipe with a wide range of industrial applications, as well as general plumbing and residential applications.
Type M
Copper Pipe
Type M is the thinnest and lightest of the three most common types of copper pipe and sees the most use in residential construction for cold water lines. Due to its light weight, this type of copper pipe is ill-suited for hot water.
Other Copper
Pipe Types
From ACR copper pipes used for HVAC and refrigeration systems to specially cleaned medical gas copper pipe to coiled and flexible tubing, copper pipe comes in many forms. Contact us to ask about additional types of copper pipe in our inventory.

Reap the Benefits of High-Quality Copper as a Pipe Material
Corrosion Resistance
and Biostasis
Due to the biostatic and corrosion-resistant properties of copper, your pipe and tube offer exceptional hygienic properties for food and beverage processing and pharmaceutical infrastructure, while ensuring long-lasting performance in other corrosive industrial environments.
Excellent Thermal
Conductivity
Unlike other metals, copper’s ability to conduct heat makes it ideal for applications that call for efficient and rapid heat exchange, such as heating and cooling systems. Where temperature control is critical for your infrastructure, copper pipe suppliers have the materials you need.
Malleability
and Formability
Pipe fabricators can rely on copper pipe and tubing to be relatively easy to manipulate into complex configurations to suit the unique needs of specialized industrial applications, simplifying your pipe infrastructure’s installation, assembly, and maintenance and saving time and resources.
Environmental
Sustainability
Copper is a rare industrial metal that can be repeatedly recycled with no loss in performance, making it a responsible choice of pipe and tube for industries focused on sustainability. Using and reusing copper reduces energy consumption and conserves natural resources.
