Thanks Ira. I think I'll just upgrade to the 3/8" hose for simplicity and because that's how the machine is designed. The Brewtus sits 12-18" from the sink, so I figure the line will be under 10' with sweeps. How long is a Long run?
Todd what is a BSP? I wish I could go with something besides polypropylene (Home Depot), it is so stiff and could get kinked moving the machine around. Does the supply line come with a female or male end? I was still planning the pressure regulator but its currently set up for 1/4" tubing, I don't know if I can make it into 3/8". I really wish I'd have had WLL plumb the discharge line, but I was impatient and worried that if I didn't have the return line ready i wouldn't be able to use the machine. I guess I have plenty of time to do that.
