[TheForge] Propane stuff (Was: Build it or buy it)

[Terry L. Ridder]

hello;

it is called 'ward flex'. it is seamless stainless steel
tubing/pipe for use inside walls. it is what is running in the
walls of my home to supply propane to the humphrey lamps in
the rooms. the connectors are not inexpensive, they are nearly
obscenely expensive. i have about 50 ft coil of it in the old
sheep shed.
