Absolutely. NiCopp® is a nickel-copper brake tubing that meets SAE standard J1047 and ISO 4038, meeting all international and U.S. requirements for brake tubing. At first glance, some inspectors may mistake NiCopp for plain copper tubing; informing them that the tubing is a nickel -copper alloy will usually suffice. While NiCopp® and other nickel-copper alloys are becoming more prevalent, some inspectors may still need to be made aware of the specifications and AGS can provide those when necessary. Current literature and classroom materials on the subject of automotive brake systems identify nickel-copper alloy tubing as being a premium upgrade to steel.
