Copper Tube 6Mm X 1Mtr Soft Pipe

6mm x 1mtr Copper Pipe

The Copper Tube (6mm x 1m Soft Pipe) is a highly malleable, small-bore copper tube supplied in a soft-annealed state. This flexibility allows the pipe to be easily bent and shaped by hand without the need for specialist bending tools, making it the ideal choice for intricate pipe routing in confined spaces.

Key Features and Specifications
Compliance: Manufactured to meet British Standard BS EN 1057, ensuring high quality, durability, and safety for fluid and gas transport.

Material: Soft-Annealed Copper, which provides maximum flexibility and superior corrosion resistance. The "soft" state allows for easy manipulation while maintaining structural integrity under pressure.

Dimensions:

Nominal Diameter: 6mm (Outer Diameter).

Length: 1 meter.

Wall Thickness: 0.6mm to 0.7mm, precision-engineered to handle domestic and light commercial pressures.

System Suitability: Perfectly suited for use with 6mm brass compression fittings. Because of its small diameter and soft nature, it is frequently used in specialized applications where precision is required.

Common Applications
The 6mm soft copper pipe is a versatile component used across various trades:

Heating & Gas: Ideal for use as a "microbore" feed or for gas pilot light assemblies and thermocouples.

Refrigeration & AC: Used for refrigerant lines and oil feed pipes where vibration resistance is required.

Instrumentation: Frequently used for pressure gauges, sensing lines, and oil-fired boiler connections.

Specialist Appliances: Often found as the internal feed for high-end beverage systems, such as the Brewmaster 3-in-1 Square Tap.

The Installer's Advantage
The primary benefit of 6mm soft copper is its ease of use. Installers can navigate around obstacles, joists, or internal appliance components with simple hand-bending, reducing the need for multiple fittings. Its soft nature also makes it more resistant to failure from vibration compared to rigid pipe, making it the professional choice for machinery and boiler connections.

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

Mechanical Seal: Requires 6mm brass compression fittings for a secure, heat-free joint.

Tube Preparation: Ensure ends are cut cleanly and deburred to maintain a high-integrity seal.

Bigger Bore Supply: For transitioning from main lines, use Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm x 3m.
