"Brewery approved" is more than a slogan: it represents a tested product that will perform in a commercial setting. Our Super Vinyl hose is very flexible, and will retain its flexibility for many years. It will wiithstand pressures up to 50 psi.
We get asked your second question alot. We even posted it on our FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) page:
14. Q. Do I need to keep my CO2 cylinder inside the refrigerator with the beer keg?
No. CO2 (or mixed gas) cylinders do not have to be kept in the refrigerator. Cylinders are often put outside of the refrigerator to allow maximum use of the refrigerator interior space. All that is needed is a small hole in the side or back of the refrigerator for the gas line to go from the regulator to the keg coupler.
But for safety reasons, keep in mind that cylinders must always be kept upright, away from sources of heat, and be secured with a chain or heavy cord to prevent it from falling over.
Should the gas cylinder be exposed to a source of heat, the gas inside the cylinder will expand resulting in over pressurizing the cylinder. This causes pressure relief valve on the cylinder to blow, which makes an incredibly loud boom.
