>I have a similar question in regard to the primary. In using 1/4" copper tubing, can two or more pieces be spliced together by "swaging and 
soldering"? I haven't been to the store yet to see if 1/4" couplings are 
available either. I'm wondering if this type of connection poses a 
problem as opposed to using a single continuous piece of tubing?
