Impressive! To be honest, ammonia scares the hell outta me!

When I turned-out one of my classmates went-on to specialize in ammonia refrigeration piping, as his father told him there's good money to be made there. He thoroughly enjoys it (he's still working), but I couldn't imagine the stress, or the liability.

I like to sleep at night, so I'll stick with simple AC/R copper tubing, thank you very much!
