I inadvertently installed "Refrigeration Tubing Dehydrated" for a dedicated drinking water system. I used 1/2" tubing run from the basement to the kitchen where it splits to a drinking water spout and an icemaker.
Is this tubing safe to use for drinking water applications?
Correct me if you know I'm wrong, but based on my research, the refrigeration tubing uses ASTM B280 standards, whereas the drinking water tubing uses ASTM B88 standards. I have no idea what the differences are.
Are there any chemicals used in the manufacturing process that would make the refrigeration tubing unsuitable for drinking water? They *look* the same (that's how I ended up with the wrong stuff - read the label, stupid!), but obviously doesn't mean they are.
Thanks for any and all input.
