There are many different materials that you can use for your faucet's tubing. These include copper, brass, and plastic. Here are some tips to help you select the right tubing for your faucet. You'll also need a good cutter. A ratchet-style PVC cutter works best. Next, slip the locking nut, compression nut, and plastic ring over the small end of the supply tube. Be sure to make sure that the bevelled end of the supply line is against the bottom of the faucet intake port. After you've secured the locking nut, tighten it with your hand.

A copper brass faucet tube is an excellent choice for a high-quality sink or shower. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for use on all types of pipes, low or high pressure. Its average life is twenty years. It is a popular choice for faucets because it is durable and aesthetically pleasing. Copper brass tubing is also lead-free, which means that it will not release lead into water. The copper brass alloy is composed of copper, zinc, and up to 8% lead.

The supply line for a brass faucet is made of copper or brass tubing. Both tubing materials have long, straight tubes with a beveled discharge end. The tubing is attached to the water valve by a compression nut. The compression nut presses against the exterior of the copper tubing to create a water-tight connection. The faucet's intake port is held against the bevelled end of the supply line by a nut and washer.

While brass is a common material for faucet tubes, there are other metal options available. For example, stainless steel contains 18% chromium and eight to ten percent nickel, which increase the strength and malleability of the metal. Stainless steel is also resistant to rust and corrosion, and will last a long time. It is also very hygienic, with a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and no crevices or small pores.
