Copper tubing is hollow pipe made from copper, used primarily in plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC systems.

Its flexibility, corrosion resistance, and ability to conduct heat make it standard for water supply lines and air conditioning: The plumber replaced the old galvanized pipes with copper tubing.
