I'm in the process of installing RO/DI filtration and a water mixing station (my first crack at it ) Much thanks to d2mini for unknowingly providing me with most of the design ideas. Now if I can come anywhere near your implementation skill - you did some great work!

I am looking for ideas on what to use to secure the 1/4" water lines to the wall from the RO/DI unit to the water tanks (maybe a 25 foot run). I'm planning on running the tubing along the wall at ceiling level (sheet rock wall). I've looked at clips used for cat-5 cable but those seem to only be available for stud mounting, nothing with nails long enough to go through sheet rock. Nothing else stood out to me while roaming around Lowes today. Any ideas out there?

TIA

Bill

haha, no problem! :D

If you want to continue using my ideas ;) hide the lines inside some of that white plastic stuff that hides power cables in offices and such.
You can see them here, running above the red chair rail. I even have it running up and over a doorway, right against the casing.
In the pic, that was the kind that comes in two complete halves and snaps (or slides) together and is enough for 3 water lines side by side, but I replaced the top row with the kind that is seamed along one side and folds/snaps closed because it was thicker, when i needed to run electrical wires for probes and stuff.
