I wondered if that was what you were talking about; you kind of hosed it up so 
I couldn't tell...  

The tubing is actually Teflon, 14G light wall.  It is available from Small 
Parts Inc in 10' coils, part #STT-14-10.

BTW Bob, it doesn't matter how many rivets you use or how 'old school' your 
thinking is, physics always wins.  A tank has amazing strength with respect to 
pressure and almost none with respect to vacuum. We carbonated beer in 50,000 
gallon stainless horizontal tanks at 32 PSI, but the vacuum breaks used during 
CIP were set at negative 3 PSI.  

You busted your butt not to break one since it let in outside air and the tank 
had to be re-cleaned.  If it froze you were toast!  I've seen 1" steel walled 
tanks, 22 feet in diameter reduced to sides almost touching after being sucked 
in owing to a frozen vacuum break - as I recall the entire work force swore "it 
didn't happen on my shift"...  I suppose in that respect brewers are like 
railroaders...  <G>
