Streamline MH12020 – 1-1/4" Type M Hard Copper Tube, 20 Ft Length
The Streamline MH12020 is a 20-foot length of 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter Type M hard drawn copper tubing. This straight-length tube is designed for above-ground potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and low-pressure HVAC applications in residential and light commercial systems.
Type M copper features a thinner wall than Type L or K and is suitable for applications where internal pressure and mechanical protection requirements are moderate and properly accounted for in design and code compliance.

Key Features
Precision-Drawn for Uniformity – Maintains consistent wall thickness and diameter tolerances for reliable performance in system design
Lead-Free Certified – Compliant with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act standards
Rigid Straight Lengths – Provides cleaner runs with fewer couplings compared to coiled tubing
Color and Incised Marking – Factory-stamped and red-coded for quick visual verification and code inspection compliance
Cost-Efficient for Low-Pressure Applications – Ideal for installations where Type L is not required by local code
Application Considerations
Type M hard copper is commonly used for domestic water systems, branch lines, and low-pressure hydronic loops when allowed by jurisdiction.
Must be joined using solder, brazing, or approved mechanical press systems compatible with hard copper tubing.
Not intended for direct burial unless sleeved or otherwise protected as per local requirements.
