The Professional Standard for Brake Line Replacement

When you are replacing corroded brake lines on a vehicle that spends its life on wet, salted roads, standard copper isn't always the best choice. While pure copper is soft and easy to route, it lacks the tensile strength and fatigue resistance required for long-term safety under modern high-pressure braking systems. That’s where Copper Nickel (commonly known as Kunifer, CuNi, or NiCopp) becomes essential.

Kunifer is a seamless copper-nickel alloy engineered specifically for automotive braking systems. It offers the ideal balance for a busy workshop: it is tough enough to resist stone chips, road salt, and high-pressure cycles, yet malleable enough to be flared and bent cleanly. Unlike standard copper, it won’t work-harden and crack under constant chassis vibration, making it the professional choice for a permanent, MOT-compliant repair.

Real-World Workshop Benefits:

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to the harsh road salt, grime, and moisture that destroys OEM steel lines and degrades standard copper.
• High Fatigue Strength: Engineered to handle the constant vibration of the vehicle's chassis and suspension without work-hardening, preventing micro-cracking over time.
• Clean Flaring and Bending: Holds its shape perfectly when formed with a pipe bender and produces sharp, leak-free SAE or DIN flares when used with a quality flaring tool.
• High Pressure Rating: Designed to safely withstand the extreme hydraulic pressures generated by modern ABS and ESP braking systems.
