4LIFETIMELINES 25 ft 1/4 True Copper-Nickel Alloy Non-Magnetic Brake Line Replacement Tubing Coil and Fitting Kit, 16 Fittings Included, Inverted Flare, SAE Thread, 0.028 inch wall thickness

The soft nature is good and bad. The Trade Off was more tha aceptable! GOOD: means it is easy to form a double flare and the Flare will be soft enough to form/seal well when tightened. Also easy to bend by hand while in place to ‘form fit’ to frame, holders, etc. BAD: so soft that standard benders (even good ones) cause it to “FLATTEN” especially as you approach a 90 degree bend. THIS EFFECT reduces the FLOW DIAMETER substantially. In my case I had to form in place due to the length and crazy minor bends. I found on my 90 that I could use a small hammer against a 1/4 inch steel plate and shape it back a good bit simply because it is so soft. I was able to restructure the diameter to that of MANY bends I have made with Steel or alloys that are much harder, BUT ALSO much more difficult to flare because of that!

Easy to work with, flare easily.

Always a good chouce

This ni-copp tubing is super easy to use. Unroll it against a piece of cardboard on a flat surface. Cuts and flares easily, bends much easier than steel and is less likely to kink (though you still need to be careful). I strongly suggest the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool set, pricey but works every time. The included fittings can be helpful, but would be even better if included a handful of unions (AGS BLU-4 equiv). If you are patching lines on European cars you'll be salvaging the tube nut off the old line and using your bubble flare tooling, then using two of the included inverted flare nuts with a threaded union , and with a 45 degree double flare on the remaining section of steel line and on the end of your nicopp line. This tubing looks pretty when it is new, but after one season on New England salted roads it turns an ugly greenish color. The integrity of the tubing remains fine, but the (steel) fittings get nasty just as you might expect.

No more rusty brake lines. I've used other brands of copper nickel brake line that worked better. This line seemed a to kink easier than others when using a tubing bender. Some of the flares would leak if you had to take the line loose after fitting it together and you'd have to cut the flare off and re-flare it. It worked fine and it was cheap. Could've used more of the 1/2-20 fittings.

Used this Tubing and some of the Fittings on a 2003 Chevrolet Astro Van to replace the entire original brake tube from the ABS module to the passenger front wheel. This tube is very easy to work with, it's flexible and easy to bend, but ridge enough to maintain all the bends that were required. The Fittings worked very well at the ABS module connect and at front wheel flex hose connect. The Tubing and Fittings arrived on the date promised and were well packaged. I will purchase from this seller again in the future if needed.

Easy to use. Double flare was easy. Very easy to bend and fit around frame rail and zip tie to existing line. You can succeed with this kit. Completed my first new brake line.

Reasonably priced 1/4" brake line tubing kit, works as intended. Just an FYI most people will want the 3/16"/4.75mm ( CNF-3 ) sized kit since it's what is found on virtually all cars and trucks made in the world. The 1/4" ( CNF-4 ) brake line is most frequently found in cars and trucks in the 50's, in the short pieces between the master cylinder and ABS pump and the long run to the rear of full sized cars, trucks and hydraulic clutch lines. ( Typically you don't need 25 feet of 1/4" when working on a <= midsize vehicle ) Bare in mind when looking for brake lines that the brake lines should conform to international brake tubing specifications SAE J1650, BS 2871, ASTM A254, SMMT C5B and DIN 74234 and the late model GM and most European built cars the larger line will be 6mm ( CNF6mm ) not 1/4" ( CNF-4 )...

Really liked that the fittings are included in this kit.

Great line good price and easy to work with, came with lots of fittings.

These are outstanding brake lines that are very easy to work with and form, unlike the stainless steel type witch need to be custom made at times, and can be a real hassle to form. I highly recommend these for all those do it your self people out there!

Right product, on time.

Had the one weird sized bolt I needed
