Product Description

Bright annealed copper tube is an almost pure copper tube manufactured to the requirements of ASTM B *8 - Standard Specification for Seamless Copper Tube, Bright Annealed. It may be manufactured from any one of the following alloys: C****0, C****0, C****0, C****0, or C****0 unless specified otherwise on the original contract or purchase order. ASTM B*8 tube is suitable for use in refrigeration, fuel oil, gasoline, or oil lines where the interior surface of the tube is essentially free of any scale or dirt and is specifically specified as ASTM B*8.

This tube is provided in annealed tempers meeting O*0 - Light annealed or O*0 - Soft annealed in either straight lengths or coils.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser, when ordering to provide the requirements for alloy (UNS#), temper, dimensions (diameter and wall thickness), form (straight lengths or coils), and total length or number of pieces of any particular size. It is this requirement that forces this tube to be a special order tube and not a standard stocked material. There is no specific requirements for identification of B*8 tube and thus is not specifically designated as a tube permitted for use in most plumbing or mechanical codes. It is usually limited to use in specific manufacturing processes or production line type applications.
