I guess its just want of the few perks I get from work and speaking of Moroso tomorrow at work I have to anneal about 350 1/2" aluminum 25' coils and pack them to ship. If I get a chance I'll try and take some pics and show you guys how the stuff is made.

I have been curious about this stuff and I imagine no one would know better than you to answer my questions. So that being said can you tell me the max recommended pressure rating and burst pressure of the nicopp tubing? Wall thickness? I work in an engineering lab model shop of an HVAC company and we use a lot of copper (refrigeration grade) and I always hear people on here starting the old "copper work hardens" stuff. While I know what we do with copper and the grade we use is superior to the crap people buy at the hardware store that is meant for plumbing (water) not pressure. I can see how Nicopp mix would give a much higher burst pressure. I always like to know the pressure ratings before I consider buying a product. I purchased aluminum 3/8" for my fuel lines from Russell because they were the only company that listed a pressure rating for their tubing.

And for the sake of this thread I also have inline tube brake lines, C+ is my rating on that..
