fittings for copper line

I'm currently running plastic air lines. I want to switch to copper line. The fittings I already have are the ferril type with the nut that you tighten to seal the line. Will these work for copper? I really don't want to spend another ass load on fittings. Thanks.

hey man those sounds like compression type fittings and compression fittings are one of the types you can use for copper, did you get them at a hardware store?

only thing is you can't reuse the inner sleeves so you will have to buy new ones but they are alot cheaper then the whole fitting itself.

well, thanks man. Now I wonder if copper tubing will swell to much to run it directly out of my edc?

I think you would want to run stainless steal if anything

Yeah, Maybie just out of the edc.

hey man i got copper lines on mine and havent swelled any, i also polished the most of them that you can see anyways. and yes compression fittings are great im using both compression and push/pulls.

so do i use the stuff that comes in a roll or the harder stuff that comes in sticks?

Use only the stuff that comes in the roll, the hard line that comes in sticks is not meant to be bent. Do you have a tubing bender? The one that looks like a spring that goes over the tube worked best for me.

habor frieght baby!
