I was thinking about using -8 pushlock hose for my blowdown tube. Its cheaper then going braided, its black so it blends in, and its easier to put together at home. From my experiances with pushlock, once you push it onto the fitting, its on, until you cut it off. Any reasons I should not go this route? I personally don't see the hose failing since it couldn't really see pressure if the safety disc ruptures.

2.) Are you going to be going through any kind of tech inspection?
