Copper Pipe
We keep a range of copper pipe in sizes from 4 mm to 54 mm.
Metric copper pipe / tube dimensions are based on the outside diameter of the pipe.
15 mm is the most popular size, larger sizes (22 mm and 28 mm) are used for baths, storage tanks and boilers / central heating.
Smaller sizes of pipe (10 mm and less) are often referred to as "microbore".
UK copper pipe changed from imperial to metric in 1972 click here for information on the old pre 1972 sizes.
Why choose copper pipe ?
Copper is often the first choice for plumbing and heating systems.
It's durable : Copper has a long useful life. Being both corrosion resistant and mechanically strong copper can resist decay from internal attack and can withstand physical damage in service
It's hygienic : Copper is antimicrobial - it naturally inhibits the growth of harmful pathogens including bacteria, mould, algae and fungi.
It's recyclable : Copper waste can be efficiently recycled at the production stages and is 100% recoverable at the end of life of a building or system.
