Question

When installing new steel brake lines on a car is it safe to use compression fittings to join them.?

Answer 1

It may be safe enough....but...in all practicality....it's not recommended by certain DMV's.....because...if you have yearly inspections where you are...then...your vehicle won't pass inspection with a compression fitting on your brake lines.

Answer 2

As long as the compression fitting is flared on both ends........

It "cannot" be a compression fitting that is used like a splicer where you install it in-line using brass farrels......

Answer 3

A FLARED COMPRESSION FITTING YES

Answer 4

Yes, it is perfectly safe. As long as you make sure that the two lengths of piping that you are joining are aligned perfectly. that way, it ensures a tight seal.
