Type K is also required (here at least) for all underground water service (municipal water supply). Additionally, all fittings must be mechanical (no soldering) for underground portion.

Those rolls of 3/4" K-type are pretty heavy.

The OD is the same. It's the wall thickness that is different.

Thanks for all the help fellas.

I'm hoping to get her all done in the next few days

I definitely have learned quite a bit.

After breaking out my "good calipers" and reading about the different types of fittings, (while I was not drinking hahahaha) it appears that I have Type L line set and Type L fittings.

I thought they should be "a lot" thicker, but apparently there is only about a .013 difference between M and L.

K fittings would be/are the thickest, but my line set they sent with it is "L" according to the "engineers toolbox", so unless the "pro" that is helping me says I need K, I will run with this. (y) (y)
