     Since the tubing comes precoiled and will work-harden if you mess with 
     it too much, it's usually considered easier to snap the tubing into 
     slots than to try and thread it through holes.
     
     However, if that's the look you're going for, i'm sure it can be 
     pulled off, i think people have done it before.  You could also saw 
     through the middle of the holes, lay in the tubing, then screw the top 
     half of the support back on, clamping the tubing down.  This is 
     another popular approach.
     
     hope that helps,
     paul

Hello Everyone,
    I am in the stage of setting up my primary.  I want to use 2" PVC  for the 
supports because I have some extra that needs to be used up.  I have seen many 
people who have cut notches in the PVC, but not really anyone who has drilled 
holes for the copper tubing.  I was wondering if there would be any problems 
with this other than making it harder to build?  Thanks for the help!!
