Type K has a thicker wall than type L. Type K is usually used underground and type L is used in Commercial buildings. Type M is usually used in Residential Buildings.
M tubing is very thin and in decent codes it is not allowed except for possibly heating.
L tubing is used for water supply ABOVE ground for both residential and commercial
K tubing having the heaviest wall thickness of copper TUBING is used for under ground applications
Type L or Type K copper pipe is typically used for underground applications. These types of copper pipe have thicker walls than Type M copper pipe, making them more suitable for underground installation where they may be exposed to greater pressure or potential damage. Additionally, this thicker wall helps to prevent corrosion and allows for increased durability underground.
Are the joints brazed or soldered? What diameter is the tubing? When you say copper are you asking type K, L ,M , DWV , M or TP
l ieallly don't know
You can use type ( M ) in Tulsa Oklahoma, but i always use type ( L ) easer to put together
K, L, M, and DWV are grades of copper tubing commonly used in plumbing applications. Type K is the thickest and most durable, often used for underground and water supply lines. Type L is slightly thinner and suitable for both above-ground and underground plumbing. Type M is even thinner and commonly used for residential plumbing, such as water lines and refrigeration. DWV (Drainage, Waste, and Vent) is a thinner grade specifically designed for drainage and venting systems.
Copper tubing comes in several wall thicknesses K thickest L medium and M thin There is also ACR , DWV
Type L copper
No it will not poison you. Copper piping is used extensively in Medical Gas applications. "TYPE L" signifies the wall thickness of the piping.
The difference is a letter L.

Not much difference between them feature are almost similar

Copper pipes are available in different grades, including Type M, Type L, and Type K. These grades vary in thickness and strength, with Type K being the thickest and strongest, followed by Type L and Type M. The choice of grade depends on the specific plumbing needs and budget considerations.
