Subject:propane copper tubing 3/8" type K , rigid or soft
From:Christophe Guilbert <cguilbert@PICASSO.UCSF.EDU>

Hi guys.

I bought a new propane tank for my vanagon and the instruction said that
its unlikely that I have to cut the pipe. Well, turns out that I kink
the pipe trying to adjust it to the new tank ! :-[

Any way , as a stupid person paying my craving DIY mistakes , I need to
rebuild the propane 3/8" copper tubing .

I know its type K for sure but I don't know if the original tubing is
soft or hard ?

To me , it is hard but online search said that you can't bend hard
copper  . Is that the case ?

What if I use a tubing bender on hard tubing. Should I buy soft tubing ?

Any input (of expert ) will be appreciate.

Thanks

Chris
