They are good - but not the cheapest But if they were local to you then that sometimes saves hassle

tape it up and use a hacksaw blade to cut through tape

(and if you look at the pic above - you can see thats what they have done )

Yep, hacksaw method is starting to piss me off.

very dear but very good,
i've almost got everything pipe'd up using that system now , i've been doing it a bit at a time due to the huge cost.
just to illustrate 1 90deg end fitting can be £25 upwards and the pipe at £20/m upwards
the last set i bought was amal valve to actuator and plenum £96

Cutting is a issue and just shows how tough this stuff is.
you can hire the proper SS cutter from Faye @ speedflow.co.uk
or buy it @ about £159.

I noticed they give you the nickel coated -4 fittings as this is stocked for the small size.
but believe me they rust and quickly . they can get the -4 in aluminium just ask

I cut mine with a cutting disc in an angle grinder, perfect every time (still tape it up though)
