Default Nitrous lines

Does anybody know if lines like these can take small shot of nitrous?

Could these lines be used before the solenoid? after the solenoid?

you have to use extruded teflon lines with crimped fitting ends, and or high press poly lines

just fyi...el cH34p0 n20 setup = b00m, mmmk?

u think that little line will take 900 pounds of pressure?? You let me know. if so, you're sitting on a gold mine and I want a piece.

If you use a jet at the solenoid, would using these lines be that bad for the line from the solenoid to the nozzle?

I could understand the importance of a teflon/ss line from the bottle to the solenoid, but I don't see why you need one from the solenoid to the nozzle if you use a jet at the solenoid.

Dood, use your brain. Okay, so b4 the solenoid its at (usually) 900psi-ish. As soon as you open up that solenoid all that 900psi of nitrous is just waiting to get out of that whole, and you're going to place a jet in front of it?! then that little baby line, that cracks if you bend it too hard?!?! The line will never hold up-- just forget about it. The pressure is going to be constant throughout the system, until it dumps it into the intake stream--- and going to an even smaller tube will make the pressure greater.

Sounds like the line already busted and somehow leaked into the car

Sorry but that line isnt going to work.

Not only do you need a line that can withstand 1100psi of pressure, but you also need a line that can withstand SUBZERO temperatures! I don't think that nylon vacuum line can withstand repeated exposure to subzero liquid/gases before breaking. Heck, it can't even bend beyond a 90 degree angle before cracking.

Use what's supplied in the kit. If you're trying to be sneaky, cover the stainless lines with black silicon hoses.

i'm making my own kit right now, I thought maybe these lines could be used as an option for a small shot, but it looks like the extreme temp. and pressure they just won't hold up

as long as we're on the subject, I have a custom bottle, and a nos cheater solenoid, what fittings and lines do you all suggest to finish off the kit? I don't know the bottle opening size.
