I have never seen Copper square tubing before. Aluminum square tubing is easy to find but I don't see to many pratical uses for square copper tubing so maybe that is why it is either hard to find or simply not made.

I know you can find Brass rectangle/sqaure tubbing though, usually for hand rails. Not sure what the heat charicteristics are as Brass and Copper are pretty much the same thing but different grades I think.

Just do a search in a search engine and it will bring some stuff up.

I'd think it would be hard to find some, have you thought about getting flat copper and getting someone to bend it into a square to the size of your choice?
