FAQ

Is copper nickel brake line any good?

• Yes, copper nickel brake line, such as the one offered by JEGS with Part Number 555-635800, is an excellent choice for brake line applications. Nicopp tubing, a copper-nickel alloy, combines the corrosion resistance of copper with the strength of steel, making it highly durable and reliable for brake systems. It resists rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments, ensuring long-term performance and safety.

What diameter is nickel copper brake line?

• The diameter of nickel-copper brake line, also known as Nicopp tubing, can vary depending on the specific application and manufacturer. However, commonly used sizes include 3/16 inch and 1/4 inch diameters for automotive brake systems and 5/16 inch and 3/8 inch for fuel lines. These diameters provide the necessary strength and fluid capacity required for effective brake or fuel operation while allowing for flexibility and ease of installation.

What is the outside diameter of 3/16 brake line?

• The outside diameter of 3/16 brake line tubing is typically around 0.1875 inches or 4.76 millimeters. This size is commonly used in automotive brake systems for its optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and fluid capacity. JEGS offers high-quality 3/16 brake line tubing in various forms, including tubing coils, to suit your specific needs and preferences.

Why are copper brake lines illegal?

• Copper brake lines are not necessarily illegal, but they are not commonly used in modern automotive applications due to their inferior corrosion resistance compared to other materials like steel or copper-nickel alloys. Copper brake lines are prone to corrosion over time, which can compromise brake system integrity and safety. Therefore, most automotive manufacturers and industry standards recommend using materials like nicopp tubing for brake line applications to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability.
