Questions & Answers

What is the thickness of the copper wall? The gasoline fuel line in a boat is the application I'm working on. The Coast Guard has set a minimum wall thickness requirement for tubing. ?

This tubing appears to be for low-volume pressure. If it were up to me, I wouldn't risk it because the gasoline pressure could be too high.

Is it possible to bend this pipe with a ratcheting pipe bender?

It's relatively easy to bend with your hands. A tool may be required for a tight radius.

Is this tubing compliant with the 2 heating oil (color coded) code? Is it possible to remove the coating from flare 3/8 fittings and a firematic valve?

Yes, in both cases.

Is this suitable for burial in a shallow grave? A gas line to a fire pit is something I'd like to do. ?

This tubing is not suitable for Natural Gas or Propane. Tubing that meets NFPA 54 is required for Natural Gas and Propane. (yellow) This flammable liquid tubing complies with NFPA 31 and is listed as UL971 by the Underwriters Laboratories. (orange) They're not just different shades of the same color. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is used in both of them. Copper tubing coated with ethylene (LDPE), but the Mueller OilShield NFPA 31 flammable liquid tubing's polyethylene coating has lengthwise grooves inside. Mueller GasShield NFPA 54 fuel gas isn't grooved (presumably for maximum corrosion protection), but it does have a polyethylene interface to help detect leaks in fuel oil. LDPE, contrary to popular belief, is not an oxygen barrier and has a porous sponge-like structure that makes it a poor barrier for both oxygen and fuel gases. The oxidation of copper isn't the issue here. The coating reduces the rate of corrosion on the outside of the tube by limiting the concentration of water and the mobility of dissolved ions at the copper tubing's surface. If you make any joints (such as joining two sections of tube), you should wrap the joint to keep it protected from corrosion for the entire length. The list of contaminants found in Natural Gas and L are still corroding and/or plugging the inside of the gas tube. Fuel oil tubes are far less likely to be corroded on the inside than gas tubes, and are far more likely to become sludge plugged. That's because copper has a tendency to catalyze the polymerization of some fuel oil components, resulting in larger, thicker, gooeier molecules.

Selected User Reviews For Mueller Streamline DG06050 Coated Copper TUBING, Orange, 3/8 in. OD X 50 FT

The quality is excellent
5/5

We needed to replace our furnace's old fuel oil tank, so I wanted to replace all of the lines and filters as well. This is a fantastic product to use. br>br> You simply reduce the coating by a factor of one. 1/2" of copper, then flare it for your fittings. br>br>It's well worth the money. And at this price, even uncoated, you won't be able to find this at your local DIY home center.

Replaced my old uncoated line that was buried in concrete for my oil fired boiler with this great product at a great price
5/5

I'm ready to code now. I had to break up the concrete to get rid of an old, corroded line.

I needed a coated fuel line to replace an old corroded one, and this was the perfect product. It was well packaged and arrived quickly.

Shipping was extremely quick
5/5

The tubing was perfect, easy to work with, and best of all, it arrived the next day. The weather was cold, and my existing oil line had a problem, but I was able to get everything hooked up in one day. The cost was roughly half of what the oil company had quoted.
