I've found far too much variablility in quality of braided vinyl to trust it for much of anything. I've had it balloon under city water pressure on cold water lines.
We use 1/4" ID PE lines for our drops from the secondary reg to the stone. The flow of CO2 to the stone is low, so the 1/4" is fine with lines up to 20' long. We use push-fit fittings at the reg and QD, as the check valve of the stone will eventually fail, leaving beer in the line, which is then replaced. Another advantage to the PE line--it's cheap, and recyclable.Timm Turrentine

We have a rudimentary recycling program, state-funded and mandated. Due to our remote location, much of the "recyclables" still go to the dump, depending on prices. Colored glass never leaves the county.
A local has been collecting and selling PE materials, which abound in an agricultural area: bailing twine, grain sacks, supersacks, and our PE tubing. She stops by about twice a year. I think her beat is all of eastern Oregon.
Of course, Oregon has more progressive recycling laws than Washington. We invented the bottle bill. Where WA has roadsigns warning that "Littering Will Hurt", OR simply doesn't have many cans or bottles by the roadside. Unfortunately, OR has fallen behind lately when it comes to things like recycling--likely because only a small fraction of the state is now composed of Oregonians.Last edited by TGTimm; 10-19-2017, 10:59 AM.Timm Turrentine
