Copper Tube 6Mm X 0.5Mtr Soft Pipe

6mm x 0.5mtr Copper Pipe

The Copper Tube (6mm x 0.5m Soft Pipe) is a precision-length, small-bore copper tube supplied in a soft-annealed state. This specific 0.5-meter length is ideal for "final-mile" connections and internal appliance repairs where a full coil is unnecessary, providing a cost-effective and low-waste solution for installers and DIY users alike.

Key Features and Specifications
Compliance: Manufactured to meet British Standard BS EN 1057, ensuring high quality, durability, and safety for the transport of fluids and gases.

Material: Soft-Annealed Copper, which offers maximum malleability. It can be easily shaped and contoured by hand to navigate tight spaces without the need for specialized bending equipment.

Dimensions:

Nominal Diameter: 6mm (Outer Diameter).

Length: 0.5 meters (500mm).

Wall Thickness: Precision-engineered to handle standard domestic and light commercial pressures.

System Suitability: Designed for use with 6mm brass compression fittings. Its soft nature makes it highly resistant to vibration, providing a more secure connection for moving parts or machinery.

Common Applications
This 0.5m length is perfectly suited for specific, high-precision tasks:

Appliance Repair: Ideal for replacing internal feed lines in coffee machines and water systems, such as the Brewmaster 3-in-1 Square Tap.

Gas Systems: Used for pilot light assemblies, thermocouples, and small-bore gas feeds in boilers and fires.

Heating: Suitable for microbore radiator tails or connecting to pressure gauges and expansion vessels.

Lubrication & Oil: Often used as an oil feed line for central heating burners.

The Installer's Advantage
The 0.5m soft copper pipe is the ultimate "short-run" solution. It allows installers to complete small repairs or intricate connections without purchasing and transporting excess material. Because the copper is annealed, it can be manipulated into complex shapes repeatedly without work-hardening or cracking, ensuring a professional, leak-free finish in the most confined environments.

Essential Companion Products
To successfully integrate this 6mm soft copper pipe, the following materials are recommended:

Mechanical Seal: Use 6mm brass compression fittings to create a secure, heat-free joint.

Tube Preparation: A clean, square cut is essential for a proper seal with compression olives.

Main Line Transition: For connecting to 15mm supply lines, see: Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm x 3m.
