No; I can find it, but they say they don't have it smaller than 1/2" in straight lengths, just coiled up which is bs because I know they make it in that size I'm just using the wrong terminology and stuff.
But today I got galvanized 1/2x2" and a 5/16" o-ring (which isn't a tight enough fit if you ask me cause it isn't snug) and I'm going to weld up a cap to weld to the end and seal up the other end.
Oooooof

The thumb on my excavator was made using a long brass 1/4 nipple. You might be able to find that?

Have a look in at a refrigeration parts dealer and ask them. They should have tiny copper capillary pipe at around 3/32 od through to 3/4" od copper on the roll.
