Threaded stainless steel pipe

I got the pipe from McMaster-Carr - the freight was reasonable, and I received it in exactly three weeks, which is what they estimated. Wilson Co., a local rep for Parker, really dropped the ball on getting the fittings I need, but McMaster-Carr has those too. Those should take only a couple of days.

I don't plan on welding the fittings on, but I do have some nickel-impregnated Teflon tape for the threads.

DavidM, someone told me that Belanger uses the same 5-hose arrangement from the factory now. I'd end up paying as much for the hoses as the pipe cost.
 
It can be frustrating getting ss pipes cut and threaded. I have a local shop with a good reputation, so I had a bunch made for an unusual installation. Well the guy running the threader got carried away and ran them too long. Result they all leaked. Expensive mess.
