Tube Nut And Sleeves For Hard Lines?

[Craved]

Just trying to work out if a 1/2 inch tube nut and sleeve will work on a 12mm OD tube.

basic reason is that 1/2 inch tubing from connection shops is coiled, and i can get straight lengths of 12mm for much much cheaper than 1/2 inch.

i would say not really. as the sleaves center the tube in the nut. is the straight pipe you get anneled? otherwise it may crack when flared. also finding a 37 degree flaring tool with a die for 12mm tube may be a challenge.

10 bucks a meter isnt to bad.

yeah fair enough, annealing can be done but more time

8m for the price of 2 though can add up to big savings

didnt think about the flare tools either, why cant they just make stuff in metric aswell lol

got tips on straightening a tube coil dave lol ??
