Hi,

I'm trying to make a rotating sparge arm out with a john guest T-fitting like this one here (but 10mm): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEM0222W-...677?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f46cdcb3d.

I've used plastic beer line as the arms to test it and it seems to both work and give me a decent sparge rate. The problem is that beer line doesn't have a high enough temp rating. So I'm looking for plastic tubing (10mm Outer diameter) that can deal with sparge temps. I was considering the clear polycarbonate tubing (as used in Vossy's sight glass) but a length of it would cost 25 quid delivered- it seems a bit pricey when I don't need fancy see-through material and I donæt need 2 metres.

So, can anyone recommend high-temp food-grade tubing with an outer diameter of 10mm?

Cheers!
