5/16” copper steel tubing

[Steve McMahan]

Does anyone have any left over tubing? I only need like a 5’ piece or two 2.5’ pieces to finish my trans cooler. Can’t seem to locate a short piece on line. Thanks. Either 86426 or 91784 shipping address.

Check with HVAC installers or repair guys - they may have some suitable cutoffs left over after a job.

Your local auto parts stores don't have pre-flared lengths of NiCop line in stock?

In a past life, I worked as a Sheetmetal Worker, an apprentice, and I learned to silver-solder copper lines. I‘ve never seen copper-steel line used in the HVAC business, but that was 45 years ago. My Autozone local one didn’t have it. I did buy a 60” 5/16” brake line, but turns out, it’s OD didn’t work with my 5/16” brass fittings, like the 5/16” copper-steel line did. I never knew there was a difference in lines. The brake lines were steel. I’ll check with other Autozones once I get back to CA. Thanks for the heads up.

Its actually copper-nickel. They are good for brake, transmission and fuel lines. Easy to bend and flare.

Thanks, maybe that’s why I couldnt find it on search

Yeah. Copper/nickel is great to work with.
