Our ZPHM series rigid copper brake hose kits are made of high-quality, seamless copper pipe CuDHP R200, compliant with the PN-EN 12449 standard. This pipe comes from a leading European steelworks, which ensures:

• Copper brake lines can operate at a working pressure of up to 220 bar, and an additional safety factor of x3.5 means that the burst pressure exceeds 750 bar. For comparison, in a typical braking system, the maximum pressure reaches approximately 100 bar.

• Copper with a hardness of R200/R220 is relatively malleable, making crimping and profiling possible even with simple hand tools, significantly simplifying installation.

Ready-to-install kit:

• The hoses in our kit are ready for installation – they have the appropriate types of crimping, and the ends have the correct size and thread pitch. Each hose is made to measure and marked with its location, significantly speeding up installation.

• Hose dimensions are precisely matched based on the vehicle manufacturer's technical specifications. Additionally, our technical department checks the correct selection of the parts kit based on the VIN, ensuring maximum accuracy and minimizing the risk of discrepancies between catalog data and the actual condition of the vehicle.

High-quality galvanized steel terminals:

• The hose terminals in ZPHM kits are made of high-quality galvanized free-cutting steel, providing them with high corrosion resistance. Each terminal is manufactured in Poland, guaranteeing controlled quality and compliance with European standards.

• ZPHM/M - ZPHM/I versions are also available, made with brass or stainless steel terminals.

• The hoses are delivered in coils, properly secured for transport. They require profiling before assembly. Bending machines can be used for profiling, but a skilled mechanic can also do it without specialized tools.

• Rigid copper brake lines are an excellent choice for those looking for products that combine high corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of installation. Made of high-quality materials, ZPHM kits guarantee long-term reliability, even in harsh operating conditions.

Their ease of profiling makes installation quick and hassle-free, and therefore less expensive, making them an attractive option for owners of older or more budget-friendly vehicles.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Rigid Copper or Steel Brake Lines?

Copper lines are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for highly corrosive environments. Additional advantages of copper lines include:

• Easy to crimp and swell – Copper is easy to work with, so crimps and swells are easier to make, and basic, simple tools are sufficient.

• Faster installation and profiling – The ductility of copper makes the lines easily shaped, which shortens installation time and makes replacement less complicated.

• Economical choice – Copper lines are

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the advantages of rigid copper brake lines:

Copper lines are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for highly corrosive environments. Additional advantages of copper lines include:

2. What are the disadvantages of copper lines?

3. What are the advantages of steel lines over copper lines?

Rigid steel brake line sets are characterized by higher mechanical strength and are used by most manufacturers for initial assembly. At PHU DONOCIK, we use additional protective heat-shrink tubing to increase their corrosion resistance.

Steel lines are a premium product for demanding customers who want to maintain the vehicle's factory quality for long-term use. Steel brake lines can also be made with brass or stainless steel fittings.

4. What are the disadvantages of steel lines?

5. Summary:

Both types of lines ensure long-term and safe operation of the braking system. The choice of material depends on the user's preferences: copper lines are an economical, easy-to-install solution, ideal for older vehicles, while steel lines are an option for customers who value durability and factory quality for years to come.

They are a cheaper alternative to steel lines, allowing for the cost-effective restoration of full functionality to older vehicles.

• Steel lines are more demanding in terms of processing – crimping and upsetting require specialized tools and higher skill levels.

• Profiling and installation are more difficult than copper lines, so replacement is recommended for experienced mechanics. The longer installation time involved, the higher the replacement cost.

• Steel lines also have lower corrosion resistance than copper lines, requiring additional periodic inspections.

• Copper pipe is less mechanically durable than steel pipe, but its strength parameters significantly exceed the loads typical of braking systems (the minimum burst pressure is 7x higher than that in the braking system).

• Copper can also react electrochemically with steel ends or aluminum components, which can make disassembly difficult over time. For this reason, copper wires are primarily intended for "disposable" use; there is a high probability of damage to the wire during disassembly – and after each disassembly of a rigid wire, it is recommended to make new crimps.

(To eliminate this problem, you can use our brass or stainless steel crimps)

• Easy to make crimps and crimps – Copper is easy to work with, so crimps and crimps are easier to make, and basic, simple tools are sufficient.

• Faster installation and profiling – The ductility of copper makes the wires easy to shape, which shortens installation time and makes replacement less complicated.

• Economical choice – Copper wires are a cheaper alternative to steel wires, allowing for a low-cost restoration of full functionality to older vehicles.

2. What are the disadvantages of copper lines?

Copper is less mechanically durable than steel, but its strength parameters significantly exceed the loads typical of braking systems. Copper can also electrochemically react with steel terminals or aluminum components, which can make disassembly difficult over time.

For this reason, copper lines are primarily intended for single use; there is a high probability of damage to the line during disassembly – and after disassembly, new swells are recommended.

3. What makes steel lines superior to copper lines?

ZPHS series steel brake line sets are characterized by higher mechanical durability and are used by most manufacturers for initial assembly. Steel hoses are a premium product for demanding customers who want to maintain the vehicle's factory quality over the long term.

4. What are the disadvantages of steel hoses?

Steel hoses are more demanding to process – crimping and flaring require specialized tools and higher skill levels. Profiling and installation are more difficult, so replacement is recommended by experienced mechanics.

The longer installation time means higher replacement costs. Steel hoses are also less corrosion-resistant than copper hoses, requiring additional periodic inspections.

5. Summary:

Both types of hoses ensure long-term and safe operation of the braking system. The choice of material depends on the user's preferences: copper wires are an economical, easy-to-install solution, ideal for older vehicles, while steel wires are an option for customers who value durability and factory quality for many years.
