Hi,

Is the annealed copper tube sold rolled up in coils for microbore heating suitable as firetube material or is it too soft? I have always used harddrawn previously on small boilers and there seems to be a cost advantage with the microbore heating tubing. The size I am looking at is 10mm OD 20 swg
