<VV> Plastic tubing for Headers

[Frank DuVal]

Yes! Also sticking short pieces up a tailpipe will get them warm enough 
to bend on a job site.

The commercial heater is a long box with strip (calrod) heaters installed.

A torch will turn the pvc black very quickly. Ask me how I know! But it 
will work fine after practice. Besides, a little black shouldn't hurt 
this project.
