                          A:  No, It works with 1/2 Copper tubing with 5/8'' outside diameter. Also 1/2'' CPVC (copper tube size) which also has a 5/8'' outside diameter (does not fit PVC or CPVC pipe size they have a 3/4'' plus outside diameter.) It also fits 1/2'' Pex tubing again it will have a 5/8'' outside diameter. * Note: 1/2" is a Very approximated size of the Inside diameter of the pipe or tubing. Refrigeration tubing is measured by the Outside diameter of the tube, Just to confuse!
