1/2 in Type L copper tube, 10 ft straight length
Copper is volatile and frequently contract-priced, making timestamp, source, price class, and exact tube type especially important.

Estimator worksheet
- Purchase unit
- one 10 ft straight length
- Gross basis
- 10 linear ft of Type L straight tube per length before cuts, fitting take-up, damaged ends, and waste
- Quantity method
- Measure reviewed routes by tube type and size, account for fitting take-up and cut lengths, divide stock footage by 10 ft, and round whole lengths up while tracking reusable remnants.
- Cost method
- Multiply purchase lengths by the observed per-length price. Preserve quote or contract class and separately price fittings, valves, supports, protection, joining consumables, delivery, tax, and waste.
Scope checks before ordering
- Do not combine Type L with Type M, Type K, refrigeration tube, coils, or another temper.
- Keep quote validity and metal-pricing terms attached to the estimate rather than treating the observation as a standing supplier offer.
Do not merge unlike products
- Do not combine Type M, Type K, refrigeration tube, coils, or different lengths.
- Record manufacturer and applicable standard when shown.
- Separate contract metal multipliers and negotiated quotes from open-market prices.
Before using a price
Confirm tube type, standard, temper, joining method, fittings, supports, protection, local code, contract multiplier, delivery, and quote validity.
Specification sources
Use these first-party references to verify comparison fields before selecting a supplier product. They do not provide the local price, stock status, project design, or code approval.
- Copper Tube Handbook — Copper Development Association
Reference for Type L dimensions, physical characteristics, and temper distinctions. Verify stock length and the exact supplier product; this is not a price, availability, or project-design source.
Local price coverage
No ZIP price is published on this reference page. Record a current exact-product quote or authorized observation manually, including its source, serving market, date, package basis, availability, tax, delivery, account requirements, and validity. A future location page remains separate and evidence-gated.

Carry the quantity and price into an estimate
Manual cost boundary: Takeoff Field Tools does not fetch supplier prices automatically. Enter the current observed or quoted cost yourself and keep its source, date, quantity basis, and exclusions visible.
