Where can I find one? I don't want something that I will have to braze copper to, because I don't have a hot enough torch to braze copper to steel. Also, schraeder valves are okay.
My tubing size is 3/8 inch so that's should be taken into account as well. All the hardware stores around here have are ones rated down to ~ -20C or so, with plastic or rubber covering the metal hose. I don't know if these will work or not though since a direct die system will probably get colder.
One last question -- Is it possible to use the bendable copper tubing for the suction hose or will mounting/remounting (and thus bending of the tubing) cause the pipe to lose it's strength?
I lied, one last question -- What would you recommend for a first-timer, running the cap tube inside the suction hose or coiling it around? Size of cap tube is .026.
Edit -- I'm making a cap in cap evaporator
