Mueller Streamline DG06050 Coated Copper Tubing Orange 3/8″ OD x 50 ft

Description

Product Overview

The Mueller Streamline DG06050 is a premium‑grade coated copper tubing designed for demanding industrial and scientific environments. Constructed from high‑conductivity copper with an orange protective coating, this tube offers a 3/8″ outside diameter (OD) and a substantial 0.625″ nominal wall thickness, delivering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. At 50 feet in length, the tubing provides ample run length for a variety of conduit and fluid‑transport applications, while the bright orange hue enhances visibility on busy job sites, helping installers avoid accidental cuts or misplacements. The product meets rigorous industry standards for electrical safety and fluid handling, making it a reliable choice for electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbing professionals alike.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this coated copper tubing excels in both electrical and mechanical roles. In electrical installations, the tube serves as a conduit for wiring, protecting cables from physical damage, electromagnetic interference, and environmental exposure. Its thick wall and durable coating allow it to be used in underground, outdoor, and high‑temperature settings without compromising performance. For fluid transport, the smooth interior surface minimizes friction, making it suitable for water, refrigerant, and low‑pressure hydraulic lines. The 50‑foot length reduces the need for multiple splices, streamlining project timelines and lowering labor costs. Whether you are routing power in a manufacturing plant, installing a sprinkler system, or constructing a custom‑fabricated frame, the DG06050 adapts to the task with ease.

FAQ

What is the maximum temperature rating for this coated copper tubing?

The copper core can safely operate up to 200 °C (392 °F). The orange coating is rated for continuous exposure to temperatures up to 150 °C (302 °F), making the tube suitable for most industrial heating and electrical applications.

Can this tubing be used for both electrical conduit and fluid transport?

Yes. The tube’s high conductivity and smooth interior make it ideal for electrical wiring, while its corrosion‑resistant coating and wall thickness allow it to carry water, refrigerant, and low‑pressure hydraulic fluids without leakage.

Is the orange coating compatible with standard pipe‑fitting adhesives?

The coating is formulated to bond well with common pipe‑fitting adhesives and sealants used in copper installations. For best results, clean the surface with a solvent‑free cloth before applying the adhesive.

How does the length of 50 feet benefit my project?

A 50‑foot length reduces the number of splices required, which lowers the risk of joint failure, speeds up installation, and cuts down on material costs associated with additional connectors and fittings.

What warranty does Mueller Streamline provide for this product?

Mueller Streamline offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects in material and coating. Our support team will work with you to resolve any issues that arise within the warranty period.

Is this product compliant with NEC (National Electrical Code) standards?

Yes, the tubing meets NEC requirements for conduit used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations, provided it is installed according to the code’s guidelines.

Can I purchase this tubing in shorter lengths if needed?

The standard offering is a 50‑foot roll, but we can accommodate custom cuts in multiples of 10 feet upon request. Contact our sales team for pricing and lead‑time details.

What are the recommended tools for cutting this copper tubing?

Use a fine‑toothed pipe cutter or a rotary cutting tool designed for copper. The coating is resistant to chipping, but a clean cut will preserve the integrity of the protective layer.

How does the orange coating affect the tube’s electrical conductivity?

The coating is thin enough that it does not significantly impact the copper’s inherent conductivity. Electrical performance remains comparable to uncoated copper conduit of the same dimensions.

Is this product suitable for outdoor installations?

Absolutely. The orange coating provides UV resistance and protects the copper from moisture and chemical exposure, making it ideal for outdoor conduit runs, irrigation systems, and exterior wiring.
