Im using stainless hardlines on most of my hydro stuff, its obviously not air, but you would use the same fittings and line.

Im running stainless hardline also from teh pumps to the bulkhead fittings to ware the cylinders are located, and then from that bulkhead running stainless braided line to the cylinder.

***Tayolor what fittings u using and will the work for air too?***



I use the brand Swagelok for all my fittings, they are simply top notch when it comes to this kind of stuff. They are one of the only fittings with a lifetime gaurantee on any kind of breakage and or failure.

They also do not need to be flaired like other hardline fittings do, they have a self flairing action that happens when you tighten them down. they really are great, but one setback is the price. They are outrageously priced. but they are 100% worth it.

I hate to say it, but for my complete setup, with all my hardlines, fittings, stainless braided lines, and all those fittings i have well over 500$ into it all of it, probably more if i were to add every reciept up, but ive used them on all my vehicles and ive never had a leak in any hydro setup of mine....seriously. They will also work great for air setups, i used them on my mazda, and loved them as usual.

I would reccomend them to anyone.

heres my stainless braided lines.... they are the SHIT.

Bad picture, but its all polished stainless steel hardline. All parker fittings that didn't need to be flared. The fiiting uses a small insert inside and wedges on the outside of the line to make a air tight seal. Had it all in 3-4 years now and never had a leak.

I plumbed my truck with 1/2" stainless hard line and swagelok fittings. It was more work and a lot more costly, but in the long run well worth it. I have 4 air tanks, plumbed to 3 valves and 4 bags. All line and fittings was about $1000
