The Professional Choice for Reliable Brake Lines

If you're replacing corroded brake lines, choosing the right material is the difference between doing the job once or doing it again in a few years. While standard copper pipe is easy to bend, it lacks the structural strength required for long-term peace of mind. That’s where Copper Nickel (Kunifer) comes in.

Commonly referred to as CuNi, NiCopp, or cupro-nickel, this alloy is the industry standard for high-quality brake line fabrication. Unlike standard copper, which can work-harden and crack under constant chassis vibration, Copper Nickel offers superior fatigue strength. It is highly resistant to the harsh road salt and moisture that destroys steel lines, making it the ideal choice for under-body routing on vehicles facing UK winter roads.

In the Workshop

In the workshop, Kunifer strikes the perfect balance between workability and durability. It is slightly stiffer than pure copper, meaning it holds its shape beautifully once bent, giving you those neat, professional factory-look runs. However, it remains malleable enough to be formed by hand or with a pipe bender, and it flares cleanly without splitting when using a decent flaring tool.

Why Choose Copper Nickel (Kunifer)?

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Impervious to road salt, moisture, and brake fluid degradation.
• High Fatigue Strength: Resists work-hardening and cracking caused by vehicle vibration.
• Professional Finish: Harder than pure copper, allowing for neater bends and crisper, more secure flares.
• Higher Pressure Rating: Easily handles the extreme hydraulic pressures of modern braking and ABS systems.

Please note: Pipe appearance may vary slightly from the image shown, but the material specification remains identical.
