Plate chiller Question

[Scooby]

For those of you who use silicon tube, is 4mm wall ie 12.7mm id 20.7mm od strong enough to withstand the back pressure when pumped through a plate chiller. Cheers.

[Toby]

I had a case when the tube came off so I've started to use Jubilee clips.

[Scooby]

I was thinking of circulating wort round the fv a la mash circulation.

Initially it will be 100c, I'm not sure I'd subject braided pvc to temps over 80c for any length of time.

[Scooby]

Yes I'm generally of that opinion, I'm just mulling things over at the moment.
