Ok, so after a bunch of this and a bunch of that, I am picking up the copper parts tomorrow.
Decided to just run a 3/4 inch line out of the head into a top feed thumper set up.
I will add a union to connect the run and one off the thumper exit, this will allow me me to switch between a regular pot and a thumper set up.
I have not soldered in about 10 years, but I do not think the small stuff will be an issue, but I am worried about the 2 inch ferrule to the 2 inch tee.
It is a copper to copper connection, is there a video to watch for copper to copper, or does anyone have any pointers.
last will propane be hot enuff? Or should I get Mapp gas?
I have recently learned to start heating the copper a few inches above the ferrule and work it down, with map gas I didn't have to actually put the flame to the ferrule.
If your around Houston I can help ya with a bit of 2 inch, no problem

I used to be in the Houston/Galveston area, that is where I grew up.
The army took me away, and when I retired in 2017, I stayed in Colorado.
But thanks for the advice and offer
