Thanks - I'll be in touch with them Monday.
Following a brief conversation with one of their people Friday, I learned the gas pipe is made from 304 stainless while the "solar" pipe is 316 material. These folks plan to offer it as "bare" or with a _Non Halogenated_ elastomeric (i.e.. NH Armaflex) insulation. If you buy the bare pipe, be aware that insulation containing halogen compounds will adversely effect the life of the pipe.
I wonder about the effects of chloride ions, given their impact on stainless heat exchangers. We used to fill thermal systems with softened water but I need to do more research before I start recommending this combination to customers.
