The Stop Shop 25 ft 3/16 Brake Line Kit - Steel Roll WITH Fittings

Have formed over 6 lines, some using the included fittings and doing the double flare on ends. All have worked great and no problems. Just make sure you use the lub/grease to do fittings.

This is a fine steel tube. Quite ridged, but small enough to be bendable mostly by hand. Arrived promptly and in excellent coiled condition from The Stop Shop, so I've placed an order for two more steel ones plus a cupronickel version from the same vendor. There are no obvious surface defects on the fitting threads, which is to say they were machined well.Magnets stick to it, as expected from steel. Although you need a microscope to see it, there is a tiny interior weld seem, common to hard steel tubing which can't be extruded in already formed tubular geometry. The exterior is uniformly round without the seem being detectable.I'm not using this tubing for a break line so can heat it without fear of annealing the strength away. In doing so, I've concluded that solder alloys with it well. Even low temperature 37%/63% tin/lead soft electrical solder can be used for an air-tight, low performance bond. 3% silver bearing plumbing solder works too for a bit higher strength (still a bad idea for break use though). I believe this tubing will work great for an inductively heated pneumatic air or gas heater. I want to vaporize gasoline or waste oil and preheat oxygen (before mixing) for an extra high temperature torch flame.The surface can be cosmetically polished to a mirror like sheen, although this will probably increase its susceptibility to oxidation as it will wear off any zinc protective plating that (most likely) is on it.As an engineer and maker, my only wish is that manufacturers and vendors would publish the exact alloy composition in order to predict its performance in advance of buying and installing it for non-break line applications.

easy to use and shape with ease. Head to be about the easiest brake lines I ever installed to date .

If you're using this for brakes, don't waste your time using the included aluminum hardware. Get steel hardware and do the job once, rather than the 3 times like I had to, because the aluminum hardware just wouldn't seal. Their coupling was brass, and worked fine, but the tubing nuts were a huge waste of my time. Not the company's fault, but just be aware of it when you get ready to cut and splice.

I received the brake line kit very quickly and it as exactly as indicated, the quality appears to be first class but I have not started the process of making the flared lines. I do not have any worries that once I do start the project that it will go well. I have not done this type repair before but having good material to work with is key to having a good outcome. I would recommend this brake line kit to any that wants good service, good price and the included connectors that would otherwise be an extra cost if you had to buy elsewhere. Point of interest, I am working on a 94 chevy S-10 and you cannot buy the original brake line from GM. Making your own and doing the work yourself is about your only choice or paying big bucks to have some shop to do it for you.

Started using this product as soon as I opened the package. I maintain a small fleet of vehicles that a friend of mine uses daily for his construction company. These trucks are also contracted out at winter to plow for the county. And the salt takes it toll on brake lines. I received the package Wednesday and opened it up the next day and have front brake lines replaced on three trucks so far. This is so much easier and more cost effective than the auto parts store lines. I would buy this product again and as a matter of fact am getting ready to order more of the 3/16th line and a couple coils of the 1/4 inch line and fittings. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL PRODUCT.

I like everything that you've done so far packing was beautiful accessories were there thank you very much for being a stand-up manufacturer I even got your number in case I had a problem that makes all the difference in the world, I never got to flare the tubing I bought a cheap flaring kit my bad, so I have to start over next week when I get a new one but thanks for being stand up enough to give me a number to be able to contact you in case I had a problem thank you

I had to put new brake lines on a trailer. Was worried for the quality for the cost was great compared to others. Well unpacked the box and I tried flare tool first off and great. Bend perfect no kinks and flared easy. Finished up no leaks and looks great. The fitting kit that came with the tubing was a bonus and all the pieces I needed were there and worked perfect. I highly recommend this tubing kit
