I'm about to purchase the copper for a CFC - inspired by Bobby M. I'm going to buy 100' of copper and 100' of PEX, build 4, sell 3.
Since I'm not just building for myself, and since I'm pretty young at this (3 batches total, just looking for DIY to keep myself busy), I don't want to cause undo headaches. I was wondering if there are any "common" fittings I should stick to.
Specifically, I was thinking of ending the water lines with 1/2" NPT male ends, and the wort lines with 3/8" NPT male ends. Should I just go with it, or should I re-think part of that? I like the idea of differing diameters indicating the line use, but if that will result in someone frankensteining a ball valve or something, I'd happily go the path of least resistance.
Thanks all.
