Air line for fluid?

[GreenMonti]

So, I have been holding on to this air line and fittings for about 7 years now. I wonder if I could use it for my brewing rig? It is from Ingersoll Rand. It looks like the literature has changed since the last time I saw it. I grabbed a fitting and checked it with my magnet from a hard drive and could not get it to pull. I assume that means my fittings are stainless. This stuff just goes together with these compression fittings.

Does anyone think this is a good or bad idea?

This is the link to the stuff.

Different website search for anodized aluminum
"According to manufacturers, anodization seals aluminum so that the metal cannot leach into food. Anodized aluminum shouldn't react to acidic foods, so you can theoretically use these pots and pans for preparing rhubarb and sauces with tomato, wine or lemon juice - ingredients that you shouldn't cook in traditional aluminum pots."

So, if you'd cook with aluminum cookware, this should be at least equally safe.

Do you have the 14mm size?

No, I have the 22mm I believe. It's pretty big.

I do 5 gal batches. Are you thinking the size could cause a problem with volume? or connectivity?
