- R290 (Hard / Drawn Temper) – EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
- R250 (Half Hard) – EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
- R220 (Soft / Annealed) – EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
R250 (Half Hard) – EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
R250 pipes provide a good combination of strength and workability, and are therefore useful for a wide variety of applications. They can be bent with moderate effort whilst maintaining durability making them ideal for concealed installations, sanitary lines and medical gas pipeline applications. Often chosen in hospitals and health care facilities because of their reliability and ease of installation.
R290 (Hard / Drawn Temper) – EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
R290 pipes are supplied in drawn temper which has maximum strength and rigidity for fixed layouts.
They are supplied in straight lengths and are less flexible, hence long-term durable in demanding applications. This type is ideal for permanent medical gas networks, oxygen supply lines and for high-pressure healthcare installations.
R220 (Soft / Annealed) EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes & Gas Tubes
R220 pipes are fully annealed which makes them extremely flexible and easy to bend when installing them. They are provided in coils, which means less fittings and joints are needed, which leads to less chances of leakage. This type is used extensively in medical gas distribution and oxygen pipelines and plumbing systems where smooth routing is required.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Click to Expand FAQ
What are EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes and Gas Tubes ?
EN 1057 is the standard in Europe for seamless copper pipes for use in plumbing and heating. These pipes are very durable and corrosion resistant, and they work with oxygen and other medical gases.
What are types of EN 1057 copper pipes ?
EN 1057 copper pipes are available with three tempers:
- R220 (Soft/Annealed) – Flexible, available in coils, good for installations that require bending.
- R250 (Half Hard) – Medium strength and flexibility and suitable for concealed or exposed pipelines.
- R290 (Hard/Drawn Temper) – Rigid and strong – used in straight lengths for fixed medical gas networks.
Where EN 1057 Copper Water Pipes and Gas Tubes are used?
They are mainly used in Copper Plumbing Pipes systems (MGPS), Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, Industrial Applications, Sanitary Installations, Heating Systems, plumbing and in HVAC systems.
How is EN 1057 pipe different than ASTM B280 copper pipe?
In Europe, EN 1057 pipes are primarily used for plumbing, heating and medical gases. ASTM B280 pipes are intended for air-conditioning and refrigeration (ACR), are internally cleaned, dehydrated and capped for refrigerant application.
What Sizes & Lengths are there in EN 1057 Pipes?
EN 1057 pipes are available in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 219 mm and with a wall thickness of between 0.6 mm and 3.0 mm. They are supplied in straight lengths (3m & 6m) & coils depending on temper type.
Why are EN 1057 copper pipes favoured for Plumbing Systems applications?
EN 1057 pipes are manufactured to strict quality standards that make them clean, non-toxic and resistant to corrosion. They deliver safe oxygen and have a long service life in the hospitals and healthcare facilities.
