Default Flexible LP tubing pressure rating?

The only thing I have left to finish up with on my Brutus 10 clone is hooking up the pilot lights.

Lonnie's design uses a .5psi regulator. I was hoping to use a 20-30psi regulator (as well my STC valves need at least 5psi) but all of the flexible tubbing is rated for .5psi and I have so far been unable to find anything local that would support that 20-30psi range.

Here is what I purchased from Ace today for $11.

Thoughts?

It's rated at .5 psi because that's what natural gas runs. If you're running propane, I don't really think it's going to burst the flexpipe unless you've flexed it many times and create a weak point. It would probably take 100psi.
