what type of copper pipe is used for water lines in a home?
Gene H has it. There is also a soft copper tubing that comes in coils. It is used in difficult locations where only a flexible run will work and with the available connectors can be used in conjunction with the rigid copper.
Look at your brake lines, if the rubber is old they are probably expanding too much, not allowing full pressure to be transferred to the calipers. Another cause could be air in your brake lines, just bleed the lines, and refill to find out.
fluid will be bypassing in the master cylinder,rekit or replace
I know what your seeking but recently here in NZ its been banned because of the fittings blowing off the crimping isn't sufficient, co's over time it corrodes away, allowing the pipe to blow off! It's a bugger if it's in an interior wall. Here there's another brand and it has a stainless steel bush pushed up inside each connection before the fitting is pushed on. These fittings are able to be undone if needed they come in all sorts of sized configurations (it used to be called Acorn fittings but it could have since changed) The only thing is I wouldn't expect this plastic piping to carry hot water. The blockage might be something simple you will just have to try and eliminate possible causes by checking everything. The problem could quite easily be the pressure reducing valve as they often gum up with crap besides they have a tiny jet within them that blocks if the diapham is perished then you will get very little flow if anything!! I'd be seeking out the fault first, co's you might go replace all the piping using all the existing fittings only to find the problem is still there you have achieved nothing!! Other than spent lots of money time for nothing!! It's better cheaper to remedy the problem first if you find the pipework needs replacing then by all means do it - Do it once do it well is my work ethic's Cheers!!
Copper tubing is almost pure copper as pure as it can be without going through expensive unnecessary procedures. It is extruded into a tube shape and stretched and stretched through dies until it is the diameter desired. At the end of this process it is either cut to length(usually 20' sections) of straight tubing or coiled and heated to form coils of softer flexible tubing.
