What is bundy tubing?

Bundy tubing, also known as steel brake line tubing, is a type of flexible metal tubing commonly used for automotive brake systems. It is made from a double-walled low-carbon steel tube that has been coated with a layer of zinc or aluminum to resist corrosion and rust. The tubing is formed into coils or straight sections and is then cut and bent to fit the specific needs of the brake system.

Bundy tubing is preferred for brake systems because it is strong, durable, and resistant to high pressure and temperature changes. It can also easily be flared and connected with compression fittings for secure and leak-proof connections. In addition to brake systems, bundy tubing is also used in fuel and transmission lines, power steering systems, and air conditioning systems.

Although bundy tubing is highly resistant to corrosion, it can still be susceptible to damage from harsh road conditions and chemicals. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain brake lines to ensure safe and efficient operation of the vehicle.
