be careful for whomever tries this. the last thing you want in your brake lines is any amount of water, as brake fluid is hydroscopic and will not compress water.
i knew you was going to replace it the moment i started watching lmao. but i was always told that copper draws moisture and should never use it for brake lines.
I mean, you gotta try something new sometimes, but even if it worked, would it have been easier and quicker to order a fitting, set up your pressure washer, blow it out and then hose it out with brake cleaner to get all the water out or would it still be easier and cheaper to replace the line? I mean brake line is not expensive or usually very hard to run.
Good question, but I'm not sure. I didn't know the brake line had rusted through in the trailer. It would have been easy to see if they were external. I don't think it would be easier though if the lines were still good. But good question and thank you very much.....
Neither does nickel. So there has to be some iron in there too. This is cheap brake like so there has to be something in there that rusts. My guess is iron. And thank you very much.....
1/4" is smaller than 3/8", not bigger - I think you have your sizes of fittings reversed the way you're describing them. The smaller one is 1/4, the larger is 3/8.
Not with NPT. 1/4" is smaller than 3/8 in regular measurements. However, NPT is different. I have no idea why, but that's how it is. And thank you very much......
Someone has always been in that situation before us. Good information and great video!
There is nothing new under the sun! So true and thank you very much.....
Very clever, nicely done! You are a Renaissance man! Able to do much, many talents!
You are far too kind! Thank you very much….

I thought I had a small chance, LOL! I was wrong. And thank you very much.....
Good thinking 👍
Thank you so much.....

Hey, just checking on you, are you okay? You’ve been so quiet for so long …
I'm good, and thank you for checking! Life is in the way of my videos right now. I hope to be able to breathe soon. Thanks again for checking.....
Copper doesn't rust

copper tube is illegal to use on brake.
It's not copper tube. It's Nickel Copper Brake line. It is designed for brakes....
