Copper tubingis most often used for supply of hot and coldtap water, and asrefrigerantline inHVACsystems. There are two basic types of copper tubing, soft copper and rigid copper. Copper tubing is joined using flare connection, compression connection, or solder. Copper offers a high level ofcorrosion resistance, but is becoming very costly.Types:

C27200 is full yellow in color and carries strength and hardness in relation to more pure copper metals. Copper Alloy 272 possess an excellent capacity for being cold worked, but is not adaptable to being hot worked. A common function of yellow brass is to be used to form springs of many types.
