  • Self coiling/recoil compressed air hose for CO2?

    Just wondering if anyone is using it? Any concerns whether its food grade or not?


    Thanks

    Use the self coiling reel and replace the hose with food grade hose.

      Are you using a primary regulator to reduce the pressure to <100 psi? If not, you'll probably have to get used to the sound of hoses exploding!

      You will need to replace the hose, not just for the food-grade issue, but to insure compatibility w/CO2. CO2 tend to eat many organic compounds, including natural rubber and some synthetic rubbers. Sorry to point out a problem without providing a solution, but I'm sure your supplier can help out with this.

      Good luck--
