   Are you running them internally or externally?
   Is the first question as that govern what fitting and pipe is used.
   
   If internally you need to use jic fittings and ptfe lined pipe which works out a lot more expensive

   If it's just for looks you can get the "overbraiding" stuff that just slides over the plastic pipes.
   
   Looks the same as the real stuff just without the cost.

   If you do require solid pipes use copper rather than braided, it's a million times cheaper
