Long story short I want to do this. Ill see if I can draw a pic up in paint or something...Will it work?
5/8" ref coil
2 X 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings (one at each end of the coil)
2 X vertical straight sections of 1/2" pipe (one in each 1/2" elbow)
2 X 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings (one in each end of the vertical 1/2" pipes)
2 X horizontal straight sections of 1/2" pipe (one in each elbow)
2 X 1/2" to 1/2" male NPT adapters (one in each horizontal pipe)
2 X 1/2" female NPT to garden hose adapters (one on each male NPT adapter)
I already screwed up and bought the 1/2" ref coil thinking it was 1/2" ID. Obviously, I haven't been paying attention much. I'm going to return the 1/2" and wanted to check with those of you that know a little more than I before buying the 5/8". I was hoping I could find a 1/2" couple to garden hose adapter but it seems the only thing that I might be able to sweat on to a 1/2" pipe is a hose barb drilled to 1/2" on the 1/2" ref coil (see Bobby's IC vid). Apparently, there is no such 1/2" couple to garden hose adapter...the NPT seems like it will work to me.
