We manufacture and hold inventory of a range of common hydraulic pressure tubing in thick wall copper and high strength copper-nickel alloy.

Copper and copper-nickel alloys are widely used to make up robust and corrosion resistant hydraulic and pneumatic pressure lines. One significant use is for the hydraulic brake lines on vehicles, especially small production runs on specialist vehicles and in the aftermarket. These tubes are particularly suitable for difficult fitting situations because they are easily manipulated: both to make good leak proof joints easily and to bend and twist into the contorted runs required on modern automotive bodies. Steel based products, which are difficult to manufacture into suitable leak proof systems without expensive specialist equipment.

Both materials are suitable for low pressure fuel lines where they may be fitted equally easily.

Our products are double checked for flaws by electronic eddy current test and line marked for batch identity and your peace of mind. We sell to primary distributors in large volume and OEM operations requiring a consistently high quality product.

We guarantee our copper nickel tube against corrosion for the life of the vehicle. (N.B. copper and copper alloys are not generally suitable for farm vehicles in regular contact with phosphate and ammoniacal fertilisers.)
