Interesting about copper. At first I thought you were absolutely nuts. Then the Swagelok site told me that the pressure limit for 1/8 copper tubing is 1/8 2,700 psi for 0.028 inch wall, 3,000 psi for 0.030 wall, and 3,600 psi for 0.035 wall. Maximum brake line pressure is typically 2,000 psi. Color me amazed.

“At first I thought you were absolutely nuts. “

That’s normal. (grin)

Copper is some amazing stuff as I’ve witnessed in the A/C, Refrigeration and plumbing fields over many years of working with it.

Hey, thanks for the specs. BTW.

Never had it fail under tremendous abuse of off-roading. Double flares nicely.
