One of the ones I helped with is doing just that - keeping a server
room cool. They are really very simple EXCEPT for bending the pipes
which has to be done with great care.



Can you not use a bending spring where possible?..


No, the fittings on the end stops you. The pipe is soft drawn so it
bends easily in the hands - you just need to be very careful forming
the radius and avoiding moving the pipe so much it starts to work
harden. As the pipe usually comes with the insulation pre-fitted it
is easy to kink if you rush things.


Looking on some websites there are flaring kits around and they don't
seem that expensive, so I suppose if you were doing more then the one
etc;?..

Anyone know anything about the regs concerning old refrigerant gas
removal?..
