The material forms a natural protective layer on its surface, which gives it strong corrosion resistance in both hot and cold water systems. This is why copper tube and copper pipe are one of the most reliable choices for plumbing installations across residential and commercial projects in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper is lightweight relative to its strength and easy to cut, bend, and join on-site. It works with standard compression and solder fittings, clips, and brackets, which keep installation clean and efficient across a wide range of job types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don't see the specification you require, please \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/londonmetalstore.co.uk\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact our sales team\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\" class=\"section-title\"\u003eCopper Tube Sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/londonmetalstore.co.uk\/\"\u003eLondon Metal Store\u003c\/a\u003e, we stock copper tube across a clear range of diameters and wall thicknesses to suit different plumbing and water system requirements.

Smaller diameters are commonly used for domestic plumbing and cold water systems, while larger diameters suit commercial installations and hot water systems with higher flow rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\" class=\"section-title\"\u003eHow is Copper Tube Made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper tube is produced by drawing copper through a die to form a consistent hollow circular profile. The copper used is commercially pure, which gives the finished tube its characteristic corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter forming, tubes are cut to length and may go through further processing to improve workability. Different wall thicknesses are produced to meet the pressure and load requirements of different water systems and plumbing applications across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\" class=\"section-title\"\u003eWorking with Copper Tube\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper tube and copper pipe can be cut with a standard pipe cutter or hacksaw. After cutting, deburr the edges before fitting to get a clean, secure joint. The material is lightweight enough to handle and position easily on site without heavy equipment, which makes installation faster on any job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBending copper tube requires a tube bender to maintain the circular profile and avoid kinking. Compression fittings require no heat and are quick to install, while soldered joints give a permanent, pressure-rated connection for water systems. Both methods are widely used in plumbing work across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper tube can also be drilled and machined for custom modifications where the application requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 24px;\" class=\"section-title\"\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper tube is used across plumbing, hot and cold water systems, heating installations, and general metalwork.
