K&S Copper Round Tube, 1/4 x 12in, .014in Wall

Description

K&S Copper Round Tube – a genuine K&S modelling material (product code KNS8116).

Copper Round Tubes are precision-extruded hollow metal profile materials engineered to deliver exceptional thermal conductivity, authentic mechanical geometry, and long-lasting corrosion resistance for architectural scale models, engineering prototypes, and bespoke craft projects. Featuring a smooth, seamless mill finish, these thin-walled cylindrical tubes provide architects, model makers, and engineers with an authentic metal substrate for constructing miniature pipework, structural columns, and heat-transfer components.

Manufactured from high-purity Alloy 122 copper, this seamless material combines outstanding ductility with robust structural stability. The hollow profile is ideal for creating functional scale plumbing, live-steam boilers, kettles, and electrical conduits. The tube can be cut effortlessly using a fine-tooth saw or tube cutter, bent into smooth radii with appropriate internal support, soldered using soft-solder techniques, and bonded to wood, plastic, or card using epoxy resins or cyanoacrylate adhesives.

Available in a variety of imperial diameters, overall lengths, and bulk pack options across the product range, these copper round tubes offer a versatile, professional-grade solution for outfitting architectural facades, industrial pipe networks, and high-fidelity scale dioramas.

Key features

• Premium Seamless Alloy 122: Commercially pure copper construction provides outstanding pressure resistance, high thermal conductivity, and long-term corrosion resistance.
• Precision Thin-Wall Profile: Consistent wall thickness ensures structural rigidity without unnecessary weight, delivering authentic true-to-scale miniature pipework.
• Smooth Mill Finish: Clean, unblemished metallic surface polishes to a bright shine, takes soft solder effortlessly, or accepts chemical patinas for aged bronze effects.
• Effortless Studio Fabrication: Seamless structure trims cleanly with a jeweller's saw or tube cutter, bends smoothly, and bonds securely with epoxy or solder.
• Safety & Compliance: Fully lead-free and compliant with RoHS and R.E.A.C.H. standards for safe studio, school, and workshop handling.
