    I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.

    This chrome edging is bolted on , I dont know why they ALL cant do that. Its soooo much easier than the snap in type ...you know ...the type you have to fight and cuss and try not to damage.

    No the original was about 1/8" round. Which I think is better for making 90° turns.
    Customer bought a complete kit, back, front and heat tape.

    Yes he called the next day saying it works great then asked why it was so much.
    Ahhh because it took more then a few hours.
    But since he was so pleased he quickly got over the price. 😃
