              Hardware store could have it also.
              Was pretty common to use it on Ice makers
              but they have been going to plastic.

              When I got down to my last local source
              I bought what they had left.

                Hi Guys,

                Thanks for all the help, I called AutoZone and they had it in stock, but price was high $48.99 for a 25 foot roll. OUCH!!!!
                I ended up finding at my locale hardware store "Do It Best" for .85 cents a foot (bought 5 feet) with fittings.
                Amazon looks to have the best price but I did not want to wait!

                  Refrigeration distributors are another place to check. Prices might be better too.

                  A lot of the copper tube being sold these days is so called "utility grade" and has thin walls and is easily kinked.
