Working with Flexible Copper Tubing
About this Project
Flexible copper tubing is pliable enough to make all but the sharpest turns. This means you don't have to install a fitting every time you make a turn as you would with rigid pipe. In almost every case, you should connect flexible tubing to compression and flare fittings (see Using Compression Fittings and Using Flare Fittings, Related Projects) rather than soldering them.
Do not use copper tubing for a gas line. Natural gas will cause the inside of the copper tube to flake, which can damage appliances.
