1/2" Type L Copper Pipe – 10 ft. Rigid Length

This 1/2 inch Type L copper pipe in a 10-foot rigid length is a high-quality, industry-standard piping solution for residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. Type L copper is known for its medium wall thickness, offering an excellent balance of strength, durability, and flow performance. It's suitable for both above-ground and underground water supply lines, as well as HVAC and fire sprinkler applications.

Why Choose Type L Copper?

Type L copper has thicker walls than Type M, making it more robust and versatile. It is commonly used for water distribution, medical gas lines, and in areas where greater corrosion resistance or code compliance is required. It can be used with soldered, brazed, or press fittings.
