I inherited several braided metal liquid nitrogen transfer lines when I took over my current lab and now prefer them to the light brown tubing I have used everywhere else. Unfortunately, most of these transfer lines are leaking where the braided hose meets the metal couplings at the end. Does anyone know if these can be repaired? Alternatively what is the light brown silicon/rubber type material that is often used to transfer nitrogen, and where can I get some?
