  Remember a Smooth transition fitting. This might diminish savings on pipe.

  You using black pipe or something pricey to start out with?

We have convinced all those whose pipes we would replace every two years 
to let us make stainless 24 ga pipe for them.
Most of them are in now better than twelve years.

Not so good for us, much better for them. It easily paid for our service 
calls to replace the pipes.
