Recent tests prove that 90/10 copper-nickel tube (UNS C70600) is superior to steel tubes when run through over 120 cycles (includes test results, pictures).

The part number indicates the tube sized used.
-3 is 3/16", -4 is 1/4", -5 is 5/16",-6 is 3/8", -8 is 1/2"
CNF stands for Copper Nickel Ferrous (iron) alloy C70600.


If you need to make a tight bend with the CNF-5 or the CNF-6 tubing sizes you will need a tube bender.


You will need a tube bender to work with the CNF-8, CNF10mm and CNF12mm tubing sizes.
