    Do not ever buy this product.  Do not allow anyone you know ( or, at 
least, like ) to buy it.  Do not believe anything on that website, except 
the price ( and the 'master kit' only has about half what you need for a 
very minimal install ).

    I should've just used regular copper, it would've been so much easier 
and faster, and cheaper, too I think.

    I might even tear this crap down, eat the $200, and replace it with 
copper.
