Howdy all!

Does any one have experience with thick walled PVC tubing (vacuum grade) as
a LN2 transfer line? The achives mention experiences for amber rubber vs.
vacuum rubber vs polyurethane - how does thick walled PVC fair? Is it too
brittle, does it fracture easily? I know its a little more expensive then
rubber, however we have 50 ft plus of Nalgene 180 PVC 3/8" ID x 1/4" WallD
"laying around" that I was considering using.

Best regards,

Neal
