James,

The original Kittredge design called for 135-150 psi system pressure and used 3/8" and 1/2" tubing to account for lower flow rates. If you are using a high pressure system, 1/4" SS tubing will do nicely. That said, you can't mix and match. Captain K's copper tubing system and VBT design are not strong enough for 3000 psi.

Hi Dan,

 

Couldnt find your email so had to send this to the whole group.

 

Can you tell me what size piping you used for the HP air.  The smaller diameter one.  Looks like 3/8ths as per the plans?  With 0.032 wall?

 

Many thanks

James
