Dear Bob

It Is probably as easy to phone you but I thought some other potters may
be as interested as I in the new plastic pipe.

How much pressure does it handle? Does it go all the way from tank to
burner ? Is it as self supporting as the galvanic pipe ? Does it bend ? Do
you thread it or do you use compression joints . More importantly can you
buy it or do you have to be an accredited fitter ?

Paul,

I used a flexible 3/4" pipe from my 250 gal. propane tank to the pressure
regulator mounted on the side of my shop. Written on the side of the pipe is
the following. Ultratite (brand) Aflex 3/4" (type F) Sunlight Resistant.
Hope this helps. Ed
