Would suggest you source your copper tube
from an RV shop or at least ensure that you
use the correct stuff.
Up here in Canada, Home Depot etc. only
has the thinner wall copper tube.
(i.e. as used for water supply to residential type fridge)
Also, ask the RV shop about which type of
nut to use. IIRC, the shop I went to sold
me "forged" nuts.
