Mine must have been the "H" stuff too. I measured it with calipers and the wall thickness was roughly .045.
However, my fittings only had the brass ferrules on the outside; no insert on the inside.

Dave,
I just measured the stuff I have. The factory "H" is .043 thick (ID is .096). The factory brass inserts fit this stuff perfectly.
The "T" stuff is .025 thick (ID is .138). The inserts don't fit this.
My guess is that if you buy the "T" type and the fittings from spruce, that you will have a match, but much thinner material.

replaced with the Teflon core SS braid stuff. My guess is that it is
the thicker walled stuff.
