The tubes range in length from 478 mm to 4027 mm, have outside diameters of either 6.35 mm or 8.00 mm and wall thicknesses of 1.40 mm. They are coated on the inside with either nickel or copper and on the outside with polyvinyl fluoride. After importation, these tubes will be made into either brake line or fuel line tubes.
