Yup! I felt like the flood line is the only one that really needs to be ss....right? Shouldn't every other hose be handling gas, or only slightly chilled liquid?

Ya thats the only hose that really gets cold, Im sure teflon is fine for everything else. I would still go with the JIC ends to get rid of the ?rubber? gaskets, and also the brass.
Yep. We came to the same conclusion.
Hell yes! Getting cycle times down is what I'm striving for! Keep us posted on your hoses.....
It's 1/2" ID hose with a 3/8ths on the collection pot and 1/4" going to the Appion.
Same thing today. 3 runs 2 washes (5lb butane) finished an hour sooner.
It seems to take 10min off each recovery.

My mega flows were 3/8" diameter hose with 1/4' and 3/8' fittings....blue and red....hopefully those larger black ones are the ticket
We have hoses made at Motion and Flow, or Associated hose, with NPT on one end, to eliminate the flare, and a stainless JIC on the other, with which we use a copper crusher washer.
We use PTFE with a stainless overbraid on the Mk IV and V.
PTFE has a minimum constant operating temperature range of about ~ -273C, to 260C per http://www.druflon.com/ptfeprop.html.
Tensile strength is good at 4000 psi, especially when supported by the Chinese finger cuff over braid.
The ultimate tensile and percent elongation properties of 316SS are still good at cryogenic temperatures, so a convoluted stainless hose would also be a good choice. http://www.druflon.com/ptfeprop.html

Hey GW,
what about using ss tubing like the dip tube connected to valve #2 on the MK3?
specifically for the butane 'line in' @ sub zero temps....? Would that work?

Hey,
I got the 5lb extractor for BHOgart at the Emerald cup this year. The first time I had a problem with the collection vessel locking up and my product came out a little brown. But after a few tweeks I got it right the second time with golden shatter.These guys provide excellent Tech support. I went and bought their 10 lb. extractor. yesterday.

What size collection vessel are you using with the 10#er?
Those of you using appions g5 twins, just wondering what kind of pressure you are seeing on the out gauge. Mine usually reads about 100psi, sometimes up to 125psi. Was wondering if this is normal. Thanks!
@b33man: can you take a picture of a 10lb extractor? I am curious what they are claiming can extract 10lb in one run lol.

Depends on how hot you are running the soup pot, if you are using an after cooler, and whether you have entrapped air.
Much over 125 psi, and I look for the reason. Usually entrapped non condensable air.
Wow! Mine is usually between 25 and 50psi. With the tank in a salted ice bath.
That seems awful low to me..I am usually around 125-150 during a run on a 1 lbs BHOgart.
Are you referring to the system psi or the one on your recovery pump outlet side?
Yeah, my high side, (Right hand gauge) is usually between 25 and 50 psi, unless
I'm intentionally trying to build pressure to get the rest of the butane out.
Then with the can out of the ice bath, I can get it up to 75 or so. I'm using mostly
n-butane, but when I was running Power 7 it would run a bit higher until I vented
the propane.
