please dont use copper line as brake lines!

[rlewis1946]

Can you explain why copper should not be used on break lines? I think I know why steel may be a better choice, but would appreciate your insight in this matter.

Thanks.

copper work hardens, so if you bend it a few times it will break. Idea is that under vibration on a car, the copper will work harden and eventually fatigue fracture.

That is the reason you shouldn't use domestic heating grade 'copper' pipe for cars

[teflonAteflonstorque]

Steel brake pipe, as used by the OEM's is cheaper, and will take a tighter bend, but is harder to work, so really only practical if you have forming jigs or popper bending tool, and it rusts.

Automotive grade 'copper' brake pipe is actually a copper alloy. It is more expensive than steel, but has the advantages that it doesn't rust and is more easily formed to shape, and shouldn't work harden under vibration.
