Default Copper plumbing fittings

Ah. I think you have confused copper pipe and tube used for
general plumbing apps with the "refrigeration tubing" used
on things like A/C systems. In the latter case, tubing is
always speced by the tube O.D. And there are special fittings
designed to accept those dimensions.


Actually, I was just wondering if a piece of 3/4" type L copper pipe
would work as a coupling for 3/4" tubing. [Or as a bushing in a 3/4"
pipe fitting to accept 3/4" tubing.] But the diameter difference is
0.035", which is apparently too much.

Thanks, Wayne
