Copper Tube 10Mm X 10Mtr Soft Pipe

10mm x 10mtr Copper Tube

The Copper Tube (10mm x 10m Soft Pipe) is a high-quality, small-bore copper coil supplied in a soft-annealed state. This 10-meter length is designed for continuous, joint-free runs, offering maximum flexibility for installers. Being "soft" copper, it can be easily manipulated and bent by hand or with a spring, making it the industry standard for microbore heating systems and specialized utility feeds.

Key Features and Specifications
Compliance: Manufactured to meet British Standard BS EN 1057, ensuring the highest levels of quality, safety, and durability for water, gas, and heating applications.

Material: Soft-Annealed Copper, providing superior malleability and excellent corrosion resistance. The annealed state allows the pipe to be uncoiled and routed through floor joists or behind walls with ease.

Dimensions:

Nominal Diameter: 10mm (Outer Diameter).

Length: 10 meters (10,000mm).

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

System Suitability: Perfectly compatible with 10mm compression fittings and solder fittings. Its flexibility makes it highly resistant to work-hardening and fatigue caused by thermal expansion or vibration.

Common Applications
The 10-meter coil is a staple for professional plumbers and heating engineers:

Microbore Central Heating: Frequently used for radiator drops and feeds, allowing for a discreet and efficient installation compared to larger bore pipework.

Gas Supply: Ideal for long runs to gas fires or hobs where the pipe needs to be snaked through restricted building voids.

Oil Lines: The preferred choice for connecting external oil storage tanks to domestic burners.

Specialist Fixtures: Used to provide high-flow supply to specialized taps and appliances, and is often adapted for use with fittings like the Compression Female Iron Elbow (10mm x 1/2").

The Installer's Advantage
The primary benefit of the 10-meter soft coil is the reduction of joints. By using one continuous length of pipe from the manifold to the fixture, the installer significantly reduces the risk of leaks and minimizes material costs for elbows and couplings. The 10mm diameter is small enough to be easily concealed, yet large enough to provide excellent flow rates for individual heating zones or appliances.

Essential Companion Products
To successfully integrate 10mm soft copper pipe into your project, the following materials are recommended:

Fittings: Requires standard 10mm brass compression or capillary fittings for secure joints.

Main Supply Line: For transitioning from the main water or heating header, use Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm x 3m.

Bending Support: While hand-bendable, using an internal bending spring is recommended for tight 90-degree turns to prevent kinking.
