Hi Tug,
welcome aboard :handgestures-thumbupleft:

G'day mate... You're an hour north of me!

Welcome to the forums, don't be shy with the pics of your build!

Welcome mate, for stainless stuff like triclamps and ferrules you can't go past http://www.prochem.com.au if you're near South Rd / Port Rd . You can always just order that gear from Mac though and get it delivered? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

For copper - my fellow South Aussies Sam, bt1 and blond.chap might have some advice for you.

Welcome tug, enjoy the ride :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome theres no turning back now
Order via mack and get it delivered its the best way
Unless you are a super scrounger
I know somebody that drove 1 hr just to save $5.00[ not me its my little wog mate] :))

[tug]

thanks guys for the welcome.

If you want to get a hand on some copper where you are get friendly with a plumber especially one that does more industrial jobs, never know what big offcuts they can get there hands on :handgestures-thumbupleft:

When buying copper anywhere shop around as prices vary massively :handgestures-thumbdown:

Bunnings is your friend for soft solder, flux, torches etc. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Any seals, clamps, ferrules, sight glasses, elements etc can be bought here :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome here mate sounds like your jumping in with both feet, shop around and good luck :handgestures-thumbupleft:
