What Are Copper Tube Coils?

 

Copper tube coils are spiral-shaped tubes made from copper extensively used in various industrial applications including the transport of water, gas, and refrigerants. They are beneficial because of their coiled design which allows for easy storage and transportation. Copper tube coils play an essential role in heat exchangers for plumbing and HVAC applications. This is because of their excellent heat transfer. The inherent properties of copper make copper tube coils necessary across many industries because of its: 

 

Available in various sizes and thicknesses, copper coils are versatile enough to meet diverse industrial needs such as:

Copper Tubing & Copper Tube Coils

Copper tubing and copper tube coils are essential components in various industrial, residential, and commercial applications because of their durability and reliability. Copper tube coils are classified based on the type of copper being used. Copper tube coils sold at the wholesale level are predominantly soft annealed. Hard drawn coils can be purchased, but generally come pre-formed for a specific shape and application. 

Copper tubing comes in two main forms, defined by their temper (strength and hardness of the tubing):

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between copper coils and copper pipe? 

A: Copper coils are spiral-shaped tubes made from copper and provide great formability and malleability. Copper pipe is a straight pipe made from copper and requires pipe fittings to be used around corners because they are not easily bendable. 

 

Q: What is the clear liquid that is applied to copper coils and what is its purpose? 

A: It is a type of coating that can include polyurethanes, epoxies, fluoropolymers, and silanes. While each type of coating has its own pros and cons, these coatings are applied as a shield to prevent coil corrosion and to protect the longevity of the coils. 

 

Q: What type of copper tubing is used in HVAC systems? 

A: Type K copper tubing and Type L copper tubing can both be used in HVAC systems. Type K copper tubing is recommended because of its thick wall which provides excellent durability and the ability to withstand pressure. Type L copper tubing is also recommended because of its durability, but more importantly its flexibility due to its thinner wall compared to Type K.
