Copper Pipe and Fitting in Malaysia
Copper pipe and fitting is a common material widely used in Malaysia domestic water plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration, medical gas distribution, vacuum piping, fire sprinklers, fuel gas distribution and also in some irrigation and agriculture usage. The high temperature tolerance and long lasting lifetime is the main reason why copper are widely and trusted by the engineers for their system.
Apart from that, copper also are recyclable which added more value to its usage. Copper pipe and fitting usually manufactured to meet the requirement established by ASTM international to ensure the standard and it's quality. All copper tube supplied in Malaysia market according to ASTM standard must have minimum of 99.9% pure copper and normally deoxidized with phosphorus and referred to as UNS C12200 or DHP1 copper but there's a multitude of types of copper available in the market according to specified applications.
Advantages of using Copper Pipe and Fitting :-
Copper pipes are proven to be durable with the piping material for each application can withstand the pressure up to 1000psi. The long lasting lifespan of copper pipe and fitting ranging from 50 - 70 years depending on the variety of surrounding factor such as climate, water quality and application. Copper material are the ultimate choice for most applications and usage. Apart from that, there are multiple factors and advantages of why copper pipe and fitting are the popular choice for most application in the plumbing and piping world.
- Copper pipe and fitting does not contaminate water distribution - Copper pipe and fittings are know to be a strong corrosive resistant so they doesn't release dangerous materials into the water.
- Copper tube are lightweight - The weight of copper tube are really light thus making the installation process easier.
- Copper piping are better for environment - Apart from their ability to be recycled throughout their lifetime, the manufacturing process for copper pipe and fitting also are more enviromentally friendly as it releases less dangerous emissions and chemicals into the environment.
- Copper pipe and fitting are fire resistant - Copper piping features a high thermal rating it is also resistant to fire.
- Copper tube are formable - As the copper tube properties are flexible and can be bent without breaking, usually the usage for elbow and bend can be reduced.
- Copper piping jointing is leak-proof and pressure resistant - Copper tube are usually joined with copper capillary fitting. These fitting save material used and are strong, neat and leak-proof. Copper tubing also can withstand high pressure up to 1000psi.
- Copper last longer - Copper pipe and fitting have excellent resistant to corrosion and heat, have high mechanical strenght and resistant to UV degradation. These qualities will ensure a long and trouble free service throughout it lifetime.
Different types of Copper Piping
Type K Copper Pipe : Type K have the thickest wall among other type of copper pipe. Type K Copper usually are used for water distribution, fire protection, oil distribution, HVAC and other application in construction industry. Type K Copper pipe also are the preffered choice for main water line as it can withstand strong pressure in trenches.
Type L Copper Pipe : Type L Copper usually are used for interior plumbing, some HVAC Application and also fire protection. As the thickness for Type L Copper pipe is thinner than Type K, the usage for Type L is more common to be used as it is more versatile and can fit into many application especially to replace old water lines.
Type M Copper Pipe : Type M Copper pipe is thinner than Copper Type K and L. Type M Copper usually are sold in both rigid and flexible type and usually are used in water heating plumbing system. In Malaysia, Type M Copper pipe are popular to be used in residential works as Type M Copper have cheaper price.

Copper Pipe and Copper Tube application in Water distribution, Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning and Medical Field.
Application for Copper Pipe and Fitting in Malaysia
- Domestic & Commercial Water Distribution : As copper pipe is antimicrobial (meaning that microbes and fungus unable to grow in copper pipe), copper pipe and fitting is a great choice to be used as a mean for transferring potable water.
- Air Conditioning and Refrigeration : Copper have excellent thermal performance - up to 8 times better than aluminum, great resistance to corrosion and formability which make copper tube and fitting the ideal material for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration system.
- Medical System application : Copper Pipe also are used in medical field application to deliver the medical gases for treament. Again, Copper pipe resistance to microbial gases ensures the gases transfered would remain pure and clean.
