Plumbing systems

Quality copper tubes from KME are suitable for most plumbing and heating applications and, thanks to their conformity to all relevant standards, offer reliability, durability and positive health and ecological properties.

Copper tubes offer long life, strength and maximum corrosion resistance and thus meet all the requirements for trusted and sure plumbing and heating systems. Copper tubes have long been considered ideal for all domestic applications: hot water, cold water, drinking water, heating, gas, distribution of combustible fuels, drainage systems and solar panels.
