Jockey Box

[kava]

I had a question about the hoses for a jockey box. I had someone build one for me and I had a question about the hoses. He attached a soft feeling blue colored hose marked Bevlex 209B By Kuriyama PVC Tubing nsf-51 as the supply for product. And a clear hose with what looks like reinforced lines inside it marked 3/8" ID Braided PVC 70 048643 - 025905 2nd 08-21-05 hose for the CO2 is this the right setup? I thought the clear one was product and colored one CO2? or is this reinforced one clear for CO2??

As long there are no dispensing issues and the beer does not have a plastic taste, you should be fine. Braided tubing is normally used in high pressure applications. Although if rated for food and beverage use can be used for this application as well.
