Seamless Copper Tube, Bright Annealedīright annealed copper tube is an almost pure copper tube manufactured to the requirements of ASTM B 68 - Standard Specification for Seamless Copper Tube, Bright Annealed. Fittings above 2" diameter are normally threaded, flanged, brazed or in some cases grooved mechanical joint fittings are employed. Fittings in the smaller sizes, normally those below 2" diameter are, screwed cast copper alloy or brazed cup cast copper alloy. Joints in red brass pipe can be threaded, flanged or brazed to fittings of the appropriate joint configuration. The standard length for red brass pipe is 12 feet.īrass pipe is moderately resistant to many corrosive solutions and is often utilized for water supply and distribution. Available sizes are 1/8" to 12" diameters in both regular and extra strong wall thickness. It is manufactured from alloy C23000 which is comprised of approximately 85% Copper (Cu) with no greater than 0.05% Lead (Pb) and 0.05% Iron (Fe) and the remainder Zinc (Zn). (Red) Brass pipe is an alloy of copper manufactured to the requirements of ASTM B 43 - Standard Specification for Seamless Red Brass Pipe, Standard Sizes. Joints in seamless copper pipe can be threaded, flanged or brazed to fittings of the appropriate joint configuration.

Copper pipe is suitable for plumbing, boiler feed lines, refrigeration and for similar purposes. The standard length for copper pipe is 12 feet. Available sizes are 1/8" to 12" diameters in regular wall thickness and 1/8" to 10" in extra strong wall thickness. It may be manufactured from any of five (5) copper alloys (C10200, C10300, C10800, C12000, C12200) that all conform to the chemical composition requirements of alloys containing a minimum of 99.9% Copper (Cu) and a maximum of 0.04% Phosphorous (P).
