Copper Tube 6Mm X 2Mtr Soft Pipe

6mm x 2mtr Copper Tube

The Copper Tube (6mm x 2m Soft Pipe) is a versatile, small-bore copper tube supplied in a soft-annealed state. This 2-meter length provides ample material for longer, continuous runs without the need for intermediate joints. Its high malleability allows it to be shaped by hand, making it the professional choice for complex pipe routing in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

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

Material: Soft-Annealed Copper, providing maximum flexibility and excellent corrosion resistance. The annealed state allows for easy bending around obstacles while maintaining a high burst pressure rating.

Dimensions:

Nominal Diameter: 6mm (Outer Diameter).

Length: 2 meters (2000mm).

Wall Thickness: Engineered to handle standard pressure domestic and light commercial systems.

System Suitability: Perfectly suited for use with 6mm brass compression fittings. The soft nature of the copper ensures a high-integrity mechanical seal, especially in environments prone to vibration.

Common Applications
The 2-meter length is ideal for applications requiring a single, seamless run of pipe:

Microbore Heating: Used for long radiator tails or as a primary feed in specialized microbore heating systems.

Gas & Oil Feeds: Ideal for connecting oil-fired boilers to tanks or for gas pilot light assemblies in larger commercial appliances.

Beverage & Water Systems: The perfect supply line for high-end filtration and boiling water systems, such as the Brewmaster 3-in-1 Square Tap.

Refrigeration: Commonly used for capillary tubes and sensing lines in cooling systems.

The Installer's Advantage
The 2-meter soft copper coil offers the perfect balance between reach and maneuverability. By using a single length of pipe for longer runs, installers can eliminate unnecessary fittings, which reduces both material costs and potential leak points. The ability to hand-bend the pipe around joists and corners without specialized tools significantly speeds up installation time in awkward or restricted spaces.

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

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

Main Line Distribution: For feeding the 6mm line from a standard supply, use Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm x 3m.

Tube Preparation: Ensure the tube is cut with a dedicated small-bore pipe cutter to avoid crushing the soft wall.
