Synflex lines for vacuum?
 

So I was at princess auto yesterday (the chinese superstore) to get some parts for my meth injection setup and I was wondering if I could use a similar setup for vacuum lines

Here's what I got

Attachment 13089


the 2 port vacuum manifold with quick connects for synflex is for the water injection , but i was wondering if the same components could be used for vacuum.

I paid $18 for the manifolds , 4 fittings and an assload of synflex.

synflex or pex tubing, same sorta thing. you push in the lines and viola done

But will it work?

i don't see why they wouldn't. i used to work at a place that used those for pressure/vac solenoids and they had no issues, but repetitive lock/unlock use will leave an indent ring that might cause slight leaks

I have push some of those lines upwards of 60psi. Granted it was for something non car related, but it held just fine.

i thought about using pex with those quick conenctors for my basement plumbing, but im not sure on them. they seem to easy to be a quality alternative for solder and copper.
i also looked into one of those crimp tools, $100? ---- that

WTF are you doing using copper? Last time I checked PVC was still cheaper.

Re: Synflex lines for vacuum?
 

Yeah but motha fuckers arent climbing under my house with a sawzall to steal the copper. :1

Re: Synflex lines for vacuum?
 

hrm...the way i remember these fittings working was that pressure sorta forced them to seal better (like a chinese finger trap)...i wonder how they react to vacuum. Hook them up and spray some ---- on it to check for leaks

I will bench test with my Vac pump, thanks for the advice. I wanna make sure they will work well enough to support my goals. I was going to go with AN lbraided lines, but it's too much money and doesn't fit with my GRM budget.

Rubber vac hose for the cheap.
