Reno:
'Straps' are a tough subject. I've had a few debates over time, here and OTJ. Mfg instr/dir are to be followed, and the item should be suitable for the use. That's another thread at another time guys, please.

I see your concern; soda dispenser lines carry liquids and CO, liquid has weight, the whole thing may fail & be on the grid! I would have to give this to the Building AHJ, as you said...it's not electric.

What the issue would be if it were plumber's tape holding up conduit? After all, plumber's tape is used to hold up cast iron pipe that is very heavy, and may be full of water to boot, so it certainly provides adequate support. Is it just that it's not listed to support electrical conduit? If so, where exactly do you draw the line?--the rafters aren't listed to support electrical conduit, either.

Conduit is listed for electrical use. The building's structure is not listed. Somewhere along the way between the two you transition from listed to non-listed items.
