I just bought a Flatline Adjustable Tank and Macroline can't handle anything above 900 PSI, so I've heard. I'll need to buy around 13-14 inches of it, but where can I get Shrinkwrap for the hose?

Or if I don't even need SS hosing, let me know. :D

It can handle up to around 1200, I burst my macroline when I outputted like 1200-1300 out of my apoc (on accident ofcourse)

Well, check out the BST section, search for "shrink tubing". As far as macro... there is an ongoing discussion about what is safe/not safe. I wouldn't push *any* pb macro tubing past 800... just me. Squid and others will argue the point. If Macro has a burst pressure of 1200 psi, then it's working pressure is much lower. Just like they hydro our tanks to 11,000*psi, but we sure as hell don't try to push it up to 9kpsi just because it has a burst pressure of 15k some...


*note- I am not sure of the exact amoun the working pressure is vs the burst/test pressure - just that it is much higher ... Think it is either 2 or 3 times as much...

Well I was able to run this Macroline at 850 on my old Preset Crossfire. However, with my newly acquired Flatline I want to experiment with reactivity and such.

Blazestorm, did you have the Macroline Squid sold or standard Macro? The AO-Mid-Atlantic event is next Sunday so I'll need to place an oder no later than tomorrow. :\

If you are going to be cranking the input up with an adjustable tank, go with the stainless line for sure. I have them,,,and heat shrink in black and red. Email me. ;)

I always got mine shrink tubing from radio shack. They might be to short for your application though.
