    Don't bother - he cut the U shaped hole for the PTC valve the wrong way up - plus he said it was stainless steel - when it was made of cheap alloy. Buyer beware.

    Buy the snabb one instead.

    I got this RIP kit from EBay, cheaper than paying import taxes from the states, was with me 4 days after I paid for it and its a quality kit.

    Just out of interest, can anyone think of a good reason why not to fabricate RIP pipework out of mild steel rather then stainless or ally ? I know there is a worry of rust internally but I would have thought that the light misting of oil it will get inside would prevent it, just thought it would be cheaper and easier to fabricate.

    my first home made RIP kit was stainless, i changed to aluminium purely because of the weight difference
