Hey all. i tried to find info on this and i apologize if this has beaten to death somewhere and i'm just not bright enough to find it :cross:
has anyone tried to use a stainless steel fuel line as a mash tun manifold? they're available as 4' or 5' lengths, 1/2" OD, MIP fittings attached. here is a link to one that is similar to what i'm talkiing about:
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...=0&redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL&prop17=02249694000
(if the link doesn't work for some reason, go to sears.com and search for item #02249694000)
my thought was to notch it just like the general copper manifold designs, looping it into an "O" and connecting with a "T" to the output. they're flexible like SS braid but won't collapse under pressure. anyone know if they're coated inside/outside with something funky or if they're suitable for this purpose? i have easy access to them and thought i might have stumbled onto something interesting
thanks for reading!
