What do you guys think about useing... ACE HARD WARE, water plumbing lines? For the Turbo Feed and Return line.... It seems like it the same stuff, and all the fitting can be made to fit.

The lines can hold the pressure, and the liquid...

Anything wrong in useing these Steal Braided lines?

 

If they can hold the pressure, and connect to the proper fittings, I don't see why it would be a problem...

 

i bet they wont hold long, they went desinged to carry hydrocarbons so they will degrade very fast. Just dish out like $40 and get some from http://www.mcmaster.com

 

Thanks for the info... what kind of LINES will I be looking for at http://www.mcmaster.com ??

I already have all the fittings... and bought the water plumbing lines... I guess i can return them...

The brass fittings I can use right?

Its for a DRAG turbo...

 

I work at ace, i thought of the same thing. However, the supply lines are not rated for the temperature or pressure you will have. Also, they are designed for water only.

Just went to ACE... and returned the braided lines, gonna go the safe way and get some EARLS

Thanks for the info guys

 

i have checked all this

the ace hardware is made out of a plastic compound, that will hold up to 100 psi only, but will not handle the heat

i already searched into it...
i am using from the local machinery place, a Hydraulic Pressure hose, for a return line, and for the oil feed line i just had to go to with flamenco T here

 

I might be late but this might be an option for you.

Our line kit is $78 shipped and comes w/ everything you need for both the feed and return.

 

Wish you got to me earlier... I went to Erals, my total was $132.... I got nice connectors and everything, but it cost me an arm and a leg.
