TigerLoop instalation for Bio Fuel 100 rating

Interested in knowing what peple have found out there when upgrading to a B100 rating.

I'm finding descrepences when sourcing braided hoses (36"). Suppiler has one number, manufacurer gives another. Catalog states one rating, and sales info states another. Then you can not find them...

Talk to most techs, you get, I use these, never had a problem...

BioFuel is going to be up to 50% by 2030, it dosen't seem anyone is gearing up for it... looking at the $$ service work when things crash maybe?

Thanks!

    Pipe them in copper. Tiger loop instructions call for replacing the Tiger loop after 10 years. I don’t recall seeing an expiration date on the standard flexible supply house hoses.
    But I stopped using them as they would crack at the connection when flexing them while servicing the pump strainer.
    I either use Ruby Reds (7 year recommended replacement) or run them in copper, leave them connected and unbolt the pump when I need to swing open a boiler door.
