My house was built in 1955 and there is 1/2 O.D. tubing coming into the
utility room for the washer hook up. I need to change fittings (elbows)
and can not find anything that will fit over the 1/2 inch O.D. I have been
looking in Lowes (Box store). What should I be asking for or have they
stopped making these items?

I find plenty of fittings to fit 1/2 inch copper pipe, but not tubing.

Thanks

You can buy sweat fittings for 1/2" OD, but not at any home store. A
plumbing or HVAC supply house will have them. We have a rack full of them at
work. Perhaps a plumber may have them, but you will not find them at the
usual homeowner retail stores.
