2 gauge pod - oil/water

On the market today, which 2-1/16 diameter oil gauges have a copper tubing line? Most seen to have a nylon line. Seems they rarely mention the tubing material on Jegs and Summit.

thanks,

I bought a separate copper oil line kit for my Autometer Comp II oil pressure gauge from Summit. The gauge itself come with the nylon line, as most of them do. I just did a quick search at Summit and only found 1 brand available for the copper line kit. It was an “Equus” Mechanical Oil Pressure Line Kit part# E9901 for $14.99. It also contains necessary fittings.  My copper line kit was the Autometer brand but the Equus brand looks identical.

Perfect, thank you!

For oil pressure line, I got part number 5723K601 from McMaster Carr.  It's oil resistance hose wrapped in a stainless steel braid and rubber anti-abrasion outer layer in pretty blue color.  Got it with 1/8 NPT ends.  Also got an oil gauge from McMaster Carr at the same time.  The hose is rated for -65F to 275F and plenty of pressure.

I've run the nylon tube in my pickup for decades.  The wagon has a copper tube version.

TJ, I like that hose you found.  I deal with MM on a regular basis for work.  I think I may order a couple of those lines to replace both vehicles.  Ive been thinking about it, but you made it easy with a part mumber!  Thanks.

I run 1/4" copper. Using the 1/8" copper line the gauge does not react quick enough for my liking.
