I assume you're having problems with something leaking? You didn't mention the stainless over-braid in your original post. It will work, but I would choose the Teflon over the Viton for this purpose. With that said, once everything is installed and there are no leaks, I would let it pump down for at least 24 hours and heating the line with a heat gun a few times to help release moisture in the Teflon.

Swagelok also has flexible stainless lines that will mate up to their connectors. They're probably a little more expensive, but that would be my choice.

Should be ready to start taking orders for consumables on Wednesday.
