What is the typical application for rigid hard temper copper tubing?

Rigid hard temper copper tubing is primarily used for hot and cold water supply systems due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. This type of copper tubing is manufactured to withstand high pressures and temperatures, making it ideal for residential and commercial plumbing applications where water transport occurs.

In addition to its strength, rigid hard temper copper can be easily joined through various methods such as soldering, brazing, or with mechanical fittings, ensuring a reliable and secure connection that is necessary for hot and cold water systems.

The material properties of copper also allow it to handle high temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for both hot and cold applications. Additionally, it is less likely to be affected by environmental factors compared to softer materials, maintaining its integrity over time in water supply systems.
