Mind sharing your source of that tubing?
I bought it from Supply House, but bought the connectors from Home Depot. You basically just insert a stiffener piece into the hose, jam the PE pipe into the fitting, and tighten. They've got a video showing how simple it is. You can buy 100 feet of it at Home Depot for $50. I only needed 50 feet and Home Supply had it. I plan on buying new pipe/connectors every few years if I think there's an issue with the connectors/pipe.

What size portable generator you operating on 3/4 inch tubing run?
Forgot to answer this. I used this chart to size what I needed. Mine is a 5550 Watt (~10HP) Troy-Built generator.

The chart leads to an unsafe website and computer won't pull it up. Can you type the name out, please? Thanks!

Had my eye on this one. Are y'all going to be able to run central air off the natural gas? My father in law (mechanical engineer) is skeptical that if I install one of the soft start kits it will drop the amps on the a/c enough to start it.

With my soft start units, my 4T 16SEER units pull around 32-33A on startup. That gen is rated for 10kw surge on NG, so should be capable of providing about 42A.

I went through all this setup and prep last year, but have not tested my WGEN9500 on the NG with the soft starts installed. It’s too hot to shut everything down intentionally right now.
