Mueller Industries

Mueller Industries is an industrial manufacturer headquartered in Collierville, Tennessee, specializing in copper and copper alloy production alongside goods made from aluminum, steel, and plastics. Operations extend across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

On SupplyHouse, the Mueller name centers on its Streamline copper tube line, used across plumbing and HVACR piping systems, along with copper fittings, valves, and related components.

Product Lines

Streamline copper tube covers plumbing supply and DWV applications in sizes ranging from a quarter inch up to 8 inches in diameter.

Mueller's broader catalog includes fittings, valves, and vessels built for plumbing and HVACR piping systems. It also includes rod, forgings, extrusions, and components supplied for OEM applications.

Heat exchangers, sight glasses, flexible duct, and complex manifolds round out the specialty side of the catalog, serving building construction, appliance, defense, energy, and automotive markets.

Great Lakes Copper, a Mueller company, adds copper tubing for potable water, air conditioning, and medical applications, including plastic-coated copper and PEX rings.

Why Contractors Specify Mueller

Contractors specify Mueller copper tube because the Streamline line covers the full range of sizes used in plumbing and HVACR work. Sizes run from a quarter inch up through 8 inches, so residential and larger commercial runs do not require switching suppliers.

Because Mueller manufactures both the tube and many of the fittings and valves used alongside it, contractors can source a complete copper piping system from one brand.

Mueller serves plumbing, HVACR, appliance, and industrial markets. Its catalog covers jobs ranging from a straightforward DWV run to a specialized heat exchanger component.

How to Choose Mueller Products

Match the tube type to the application. DWV work calls for a different Streamline tube type than a pressurized water line, so confirm the type designation before ordering.

Great Lakes Copper offers plastic-coated copper tubing and PEX rings. Consider them for potable water, air conditioning, or medical piping jobs that need a coated or PEX-ring option.

When a run needs fittings and valves alongside the tube, sourcing both from Mueller keeps material specifications consistent across the same piping system.

Larger commercial or industrial jobs that need forgings, extrusions, or custom OEM components should route through Mueller's broader industrial catalog rather than its standard plumbing tube line.
