CO2-Canisters has it for .89 per foot and it comes in three colors; green, blue or black. I sent them an email to inquire about a group-order/bulk discount. If we do place an order, I will make sure we get it in time for our next meeting...

I buy 'T's used for car vacuum systems for my splitters. I get them at PEP boys. A 'T' and three hose clamps and you are all set. Buy the extra thick walled CO2 line from a home brew supply store for distance runs. Of course you have to remember when I do this I put the needle valve at the tank.

If you've got bait, I've got wasabi!

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)

That's an interesting idea Sean. The T used for car vaccums is for 1/8" air tubing, correct? Also, should I remove the existing needle valve attached to the regulator or just leave it and buy two more to put near the tanks?

You can't split after the needle valve. It won't work. You have to split before the needle valve.

I'd get some tubing if this comes together, 20 feet or so.

You know... if we get is a little larger, it becomes cheaper to buy a bazillion feet directly from Clippard.... I think they are like 500 foot rolls or something, but the price is so much less per foot...

And Paul is going to need to get those little barb ends, and some needle valves, anyhow - I know Aaron knows the part numbers, I cannot remember for the life of me tho!

Clear 1/8" ID polyeruethane URH1-0804-CLT-050 $20.06

That's the part number for the 50 ft. roll. That's the thick walled stuff Sean was talking about.
