So, I think I know the answer, but I want to get some confirmation. Awhile back I had to “deconstruct” one of my gas lines/manifolds to rob some parts. I have a gas line that’s been connected to my manifold on one end, but is an open MFL nut on the other end. This manifold has also been unhooked from CO2. Is this gas line safe to use for pressure transfer or kegging?
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "safe."

Sanitation? I'd recommend sanitizing any line before (re)installing, although the risk of not doing that is probably low.

Oxygen? I'd recommend purging the line with CO2 before using it to purge a keg or to push beer.
 
Sorry, I was mostly worried about sanitation. I guess I wasn't thinking about sanitizing on the gas side because I'm an idiot and had been drinking a little:) I'll run some star san through it and call it a day!

Cheers!!
