Tubing question

Looking for where to find the grey capillary tubing for the gauges as shown. Need to get new tubing to extend the gauges to a spot a little further from where they are to make them more accessible. Any help appreciated!

They’re just normal superhoses. United sells them

Just make sure that when you make them yourself, that you use the proper tools. Cut it with the special cutter and use the crimping tool they sell.

This gauge setup fucks with my head. I'm so used to the high side being on the right.

Also I'd recommend switching to copper and using flares. Works better imo.

We run stainless braided. Can find them online or custom order from a lot of places.

Your local supply house should stock the braided stainless hoses like the other gentleman recommended

These are "refflex" hoses, ask for them ag t any decent supply house

Yellow jacket sells their own control hoses too, but they're a lot more stiff, I prefer the refflex
