Anyone ever tried these?

Also these copper hydro pipes - wouldn't they be dodgy like copper brake lines?

Those nylon tubes look like a great idea!

We use them in heavy industry for compressed air, gland water, and even lube oil - would see no problems using them for this application as they are abrasion & chemical resistant. You could get them made in Oz from a selection of colours too (probably cheaper too) :idea:

Yeah I've seen those plastic tubes used for welding gases (argon, CO2 etc) here in welding shops too. Low pressure though, usually around 700KPa.

Those lines may simply be copper coated steel for rust protection.

Sounds like a good question to ask them before purchasing though.
