I searched the forum for this answer and all i can really find is posts that mention using vinyl tubing.
I am preparing to brew AG with a friend and we are getting equipment together.
I have a modified 11 gal kettle w/ 1/2"BV, that I plan on using as HLT and BK.
My question is: I purchased 6' of 1/2"ID clear vinyl tubing today and noticed that the working temperature and pressure was indicated on the outside of the box.
I am not concerned with the pressure value as I do not think that there will be a significant amount of pressure generated in this system.
My concern is that the max temp was indicated as 170 degrees.
So, am I OK to use this line?
Water from HLT to mash tun should rarely get that high... correct?
Wort from MT to kettle should be down in the 150 to 160 range.. OK
And post boil and chilling, the wort should be well below temp.
What risk is there if for some reason I happen to run water higher than 170 degrees through this tube?
