Clutch Pipe Fiat X19 1989 RHD ACP245

When you're replacing rotted brake lines, you want to do the job once and know it’s done right. While standard copper pipe is cheap and easy to bend, it lacks the tensile strength of steel and can suffer from work-hardening and fatigue over time. Steel, on the other hand, is a nightmare to flare on the vehicle and rusts out after a few wet winters. This Copper Nickel (commonly known as Kunifer, CuNi, or NiCopp) brake pipe is the professional choice that bridges the gap.

Kunifer is an alloy specifically engineered to withstand high-pressure braking systems while offering superior resistance to road salt, moisture, and road grime. It has a much higher fatigue strength than standard copper, meaning it won't harden and crack under constant pressure cycles and engine vibration. For any workshop looking to turn out reliable, long-lasting brake repairs, this is the material you should be flaring.

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to the harsh road salt and moisture that quickly destroys OEM steel lines.
• Superior Strength: Higher burst pressure and fatigue resistance than standard copper, making it safer for modern ABS and high-pressure braking systems.
• Workability: While slightly stiffer than pure copper, it remains highly malleable. It bends cleanly without kinking and takes a perfect single or double flare (SAE or DIN) without splitting.
• Fit and Forget: Once installed, this pipe will easily outlast the vehicle, preventing future MOT failures for corroded brake lines.

Whether you are routing lines along a chassis leg or flaring tight unions under a wheel arch, Kunifer gives you the structural integrity of steel with the workability of copper. It’s the only sensible choice for a proper, permanent brake overhaul.

Copper pipes are more traditional and easier to work with however Copper Nickel (aka CuNI, Kunifer, cupro-nickel or NiCopp) is more resistant to corrosion and has a higher fatigue strength.
