COPPER TUBE DATA
Mueller Industries cleaning, purging and pressurizing process assures the high level of tube cleanliness in conformance to
ASTM B280, the refrigeration industry standard. The tube is sealed with plugs which maintain the standard of cleanliness
from the factory to the job site.
STREAMLINE

COPPER TUBE PRESSURIZED WITH NITROGEN provides maximum protection against the
formation of harmful oxides normally formed during brazing operations. Reduction of these oxides greatly reduces system
contamination. Plugs are reusable. When less than a 20 length of tube is required for an installation the unused length of
tube may be re-plugged to prevent atmospheric contamination during storage.
STREAMLINE

NITROGENIZED seamless copper tube is available in sizes 3/8 OD through 3-1/8 OD. Larger
sizes from 3-5/8 OD through 8-1/8 OD are cleaned and capped. Manufactured and cleaned in accordance with ASTM
B280. 20-ft. lengths hard drawn - cleaned and capped - color coded - Marked ACR/MED

TECHNICAL DATA
Values of allowable internal working pressure for copper tube in service are based on the formula from ANSI B31, Standard
Code for Pressure Piping:

P = Allowable Pressure @150F S = 5100 PSIG annealed
S = Allowable stress @ 200F S= 4800PSIG annealed
T = Wall thickness @ 300F S= 4700 PSIG annealed
D Max = Outside Diameter @ 400F S= 3000 PSIG annealed

All ratings listed for types K, L, M, DWV and refrigeration service tube in the preceding charts are calculated
for tube in the annealed condition. These values should be used when soldering, brazing or welding is employed
for joining components in a system. While the ratings for hard drawn tube are substantially higher, they should
only be used for systems using properly designed flare or compression mechanical joints, since joining
by any heating process might anneal (soften) the tube.
In designing a system, careful consideration should also be given to joint ratings as well as those of the components.

COPPER TUBE AND SOLDER TYPE FITTINGS
1. Cut tube to length & remove
burr with le or scraper.
2. Clean outside of tube with
sandpaper or sand cloth.
3. Clean inside of tting with wire
brush, sand cloth or sandpaper.
4. Apply ux thoroughly to
inside of tting.
5. Apply ux thoroughly to
outside of tube - assemble
tube and tting.
6. Apply heat with torch. When
solder melts upon contact with
heated tting, the proper temp
for soldering has been reached.
Remove ame & feed solder to
the joint at one or two points
until a ring of solder appears at
the end of the tting.
1. Cut tube square with the cutter or ne hack
saw (32 tooth blade is recommended).
Remove Burr.
2. Clean outside end of copper tube thoroughly
with sand cloth or sandpaper equal depth of
tting. Leave no dark spots.
3. Clean inside of tting carefully to tube stop with
wire brush. Note: Sand cloth or sandpaper may
also be used.
4. Using a brush, apply light uniform coat of
soldering ux to the outside of the tube
and inside of the tting.
5. Slip tube into tting to tube stop. Turn tube
back and forth once or twice to distribute
ux evenly.
6. Apply heat uniformly around the tting with
torch. When solder melts upon contact with
heated tting, the proper soldering temperature
has been reached. Remove ame and feed
solder slightly off center at the bottom of the
joint. Proceed across the bottom of the tting
and up to the top center position. Return to
the starting point, and then proceed up the
incomplete side to the top, again, overlapping
the solder metal. Wipe off surplus solder with
a piece of cloth.
CAUTION: No not overheat the joint or
direct the ame into the face of the tting
cup. Overheating could burn the ux,
which will destroy its effectiveness and the
solder will not enter the joint properly.
