Streamline V14020 – 1-1/2" x 20' Hard Drawn Copper Tubing (Type L, ASTM B88)
Streamline V14020 is a 20-foot length of 1-1/2" nominal copper tubing, Type L, hard drawn for above-ground water distribution and mechanical systems. Produced to ASTM B88 specifications, this rigid copper tube is widely used in commercial and residential applications requiring a medium wall thickness for pressure-rated service.
Type L copper tubing is color-coded in blue for identification, with incised markings to indicate type, size, and compliance. Its corrosion-resistant properties and dimensional stability make it a preferred material for pressurized water systems, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing installations.
