Isn't the braiding just for preventing bursting and slicing of a softer
inner material? what material is used for the inside lining? Scout "Horvath" wrote in message ... On Thu, 09 Dec 2004 11:49:32 GMT, "Scout" wrote this crap: I've installed many a fuel line on boilers with soft copper tubing (#1 & #2 fuel). There are also *fused* valves available (fire-o-matic) that will shut off fuel supply in an intense heat situation. I'll defer to Doug's expertise in this situation though. To the OP, if you're going with metal tubing, I'd recommend a flared connection, or at least stay away from compression (nut and ferrule) types, which tend to leak with vibration. Scout If you're worried about fire protection, and you want leak-proof metal. I would use stainless steel braided aircraft hose. It's also much easier to install than a rigid tube. Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now! |
