[a/s] Plumbing



Still trying to fix a leak and install a new shower control and I have a question. The 1/2 copper and 3/8 copper tubing used through the trailer is jus a fraction larger around than the 1/2 and 3/8 copper stock and fitting, both sweat and compression than I can get at the hardware store. At first I though maybe where I was working the tubing had expand but I have now cut back to other areas and still the same the problem.
 
Were the standards for copper stock and fitting different in 1976, or has my copper tubing just expanded over time. Real challenge. Any input will be appreciated.
