    Hardware store could have it also.
    Was pretty common to use it on Ice makers
    but they have been going to plastic.
    (Check behind your fridge)
    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.
