Streamline LS03060 – 3/8" x 60' Soft Copper Tubing (Type L, ASTM B88)
The Streamline LS03060 is a 60-foot coil of 3/8-inch nominal Type L copper tubing manufactured to meet ASTM B88 standards. This soft-drawn tubing is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial water supply systems. Type L copper offers a medium wall thickness, providing a balance between strength and flexibility, and is widely accepted for interior water distribution applications.
The tubing is incised marked and color-coded for type identification and is produced in compliance with national plumbing and mechanical codes. Its annealed (soft) temper allows for bending by hand or with appropriate tools, minimizing the need for fittings in installations.
