This Sealey Cupro-Nickel brake pipe is designed for automotive and hydraulic applications requiring a durable and corrosion-resistant fluid conduit. Its key benefit is its superior strength and longevity compared to steel, though it requires specific flaring techniques for proper installation. This guide covers its specifications, applications, and essential handling information.

Cupro-Nickel offers superior resistance to corrosion and rust, leading to a longer lifespan, especially in harsh environments, compared to standard steel brake lines.
A double flare is generally recommended for automotive brake lines to ensure a secure and leak-free connection, especially for high-pressure applications.
Yes, with a maximum working pressure of 215bar (3120psi), it is suitable for many power steering systems, provided the fluid is compatible.
You will need a tubing cutter, a tube bender, and a flaring tool suitable for cupro-nickel (e.g., a double flaring tool).
Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Cap the ends to prevent contamination.
The pipe is 22 gauge, providing a robust wall thickness suitable for its rated working pressure.
Ensure you are using a flaring tool specifically designed for cupro-nickel or soft metals. Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred before flaring.
The flare may not be perfect or the fitting may not be tight enough. Re-flare the pipe end or tighten the fitting carefully. Inspect the fitting for damage.
Use a proper tube bender to support the pipe and create smooth bends. Avoid bending the pipe too sharply or repeatedly in the same location.
Setup: Installing this brake pipe requires specific tools for flaring, such as a double-flaring tool designed for soft metals like cupro-nickel. Always ensure the ends are properly flared to create a leak-proof seal with brake line fittings. Bend the pipe carefully using a tube bender to avoid kinking; repeated bending in the same spot can weaken the material.
Compatibility: This pipe is widely compatible with standard automotive brake line fittings and fluids (DOT 3, DOT 4, etc.). It is also suitable for many low-pressure hydraulic systems. Always verify compatibility with the specific fluid and pressure requirements of your application.
Care: Keep the pipe clean and dry during storage and installation. Avoid sharp impacts or abrasive cleaning methods. After installation, periodic inspection for any signs of damage or leaks is recommended.
