Curator's pick: NiCopp 3/16 inch Nickel Copper Brake Line Tubing Kit
Bending stainless on an old F350 chassis is a nightmare; NiCopp flares perfectly every time and handles road salt without pitting. It is the only line I use for trucks that actually see work duty rather than just trailer shows.
⚠ Worth knowing: If you are using that Titan flaring tool on anything other than the copper-nickel lines, like hardened stainless, you’ll likely snap the die or get a lopsided flare. Stick to the NiCopp for the best seal on the first try.
