Re: PTFE tube for steam?
what fittings do you need?
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

The Teflon lined with stainless steel over braid is excellent for steam service. Requires proper crimped fittings and require very large bend radius. Way over kill for our hobby.

rob's comment is why I asked about fittings...
I think i may have a couple of feet floating around the basement. I will look when I get home next week (in California now).

This is the Eaton Product I was referring to: http://www.eatonpowersource.com/product ... ils/s-4tw/ Requires crimped or swaged ends. (Both are available.) Comes in -4 to -16 sizes. Does require a good bend radius as once kinked, it's worthless.
