I use aluminum because it's easy to work with except for areas where it
might get pinched, then I use steel. I don't like the green stuff that
copper accumulates but thats just a personal problem. If you are worried
about corrosion you can get the aluminum line in bulk already annodized
blue from Summitt however it is #6AN. It is a Russel product you might
contact them to see if they sell the #4 size.
The fire bottle manufacturers suggest mounting the nozzles pointing
down so thay will be less likely to accumulate crud (you do blow your lines
and nozzels out frequently don't you).
