I am building a MLT out of a cooler which I had laying around the house. I have built the copper manifold and am having difficulty connecting it to the bulkhead. I was thinking of using a small piece of clear 1/2" vinyl tubing to connect it.
My question is: Do you think that it will hold up in a MLT? My initial concern is the heat. I don't think it will that big of a deal because it will never go above 170F or so anyway and there is no real pressure on the line. The piece is only going to be about 1 1/2" - 2" long and will have a hose clamp holding it secure on each end.
What do all you home brewing experts think?
