AS 1432 Australian Standard

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Premium Copper Solutions for the Australian Market

The Australian Standard AS 1432 specifies the requirements for seamless copper tubes used in water, gas, and sanitation applications. Australia's unique climate and strict building codes require copper tubing that can withstand high UV exposure, varied water chemistry, and rigorous installation practices. At Zhejiang Jingliang, we manufacture a dedicated range of copper pipes that fully comply with AS 1432, covering Types A, B, C, and D. These types define the wall thickness and pressure ratings required for everything from heavy-duty underground mains to lightweight internal plumbing. Our AS 1432 compliant tubing is manufactured from high-purity C12200 copper and is marked with the mandatory "Watermark" or equivalent certification symbols to ensure it passes local council inspections and provides long-term security for Australian homeowners and developers.

Compliance with AS 1432 is not just about the copper itself; it is about the reliability of the entire fluid transport system. Our Australian-spec pipes are designed for "Easy Jointing" using the standard silver-brazing or compression fittings common in the Australian trade. We pay particular attention to the "Internal Surface Quality" to prevent the pitting corrosion that can occur in certain Australian water supplies. Furthermore, our AS 1432 tubes are available in both straight lengths (hard-drawn) and annealed coils, providing the flexibility needed for the diverse plumbing layouts found in Australian residential and commercial construction. By choosing Jingliang's AS 1432 compliant copper, you are ensuring that your project meets the highest standards of the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) and contributes to the sustainable, high-quality infrastructure of the region.

Applications Across the Australian Continent

AS 1432 copper tubing is the primary material for Potable Water Supply in Australian homes, apartments, and hospitals. Type A and Type B pipes are used for Underground Services, connecting the municipal water main to the building meter. In the Gas sector, these tubes are used for the reticulation of Natural Gas and LPG. They are also essential for Fire Sprinkler Systems and fire hydrant services in commercial high-rises. Australia’s booming "Green Energy" sector uses AS 1432 copper for Solar Hot Water Systems and heat pump installations. Because of its antimicrobial properties, it is also the standard for Medical Gas pipelines in Australian healthcare facilities. Additionally, Type D pipes are used for specialized vacuum and waste systems where durability and fire resistance are required over plastic alternatives.

Advantages for Australian Contractors

The primary advantage is "Regulatory Certainty"—our AS 1432 compliant tubing is guaranteed to pass Australian building inspections, avoiding the costly rework associated with non-standard materials. "High Durability" is another key benefit; our pipes are engineered to last 50+ years even in the harsh coastal environments of the Gold Coast or the dry heat of the Outback. Our "Easy-to-Work" metallurgy means that Australian plumbers can flare, bend, and swage our tubes with minimal effort and no cracking. "Compatibility" is also a major plus; the sizing of AS 1432 is perfectly matched to the Australian "B-Series" fittings and valves. Finally, copper’s "Natural Recyclability" aligns with the Australian government’s commitment to a circular economy, making it the most environmentally responsible choice for modern construction projects.

Logistics and Supply for Oceania

We provide AS 1432 tubing in standard 6-meter straight lengths and 18-meter or 30-meter coils, optimized for Australian trade practices. Payment is typically T/T or L/C. We utilize specialized "Oceania-Ready" packaging, which includes heavy-duty wooden crates for straight lengths and individually boxed coils for easy retail display. Every shipment includes a Mill Test Certificate and a Certificate of Compliance with AS 1432. We offer direct shipping to major Australian ports including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. Our logistics team is familiar with the strict quarantine and customs requirements of Australia, ensuring that your shipment arrives without delay and is ready for immediate distribution or site delivery.

  • Q: What is the difference between Type B and Type C?
  • A: Type B has a thicker wall and is the most commonly used for both hot and cold water. Type C is thinner and is generally only used for internal domestic plumbing where pressure is lower.
  • Q: Is AS 1432 copper suitable for medical gas?
  • A: For medical gas, the tubing must also meet the cleanliness requirements of AS 4041 or equivalent. We can supply AS 1432 pipes that are specifically degreased and capped for medical use.
