Gerry's Steam Mini Tube Radiation

The radiation in a steam mini tube may be anything that is non ferrous so that rust doesn't clog up the 1/4'' return tube. Great care was taken to deal with potential expansion noise by hanging the fin tube by wire. High strength stainless steel wire was used. Extra pitch was also applied to the fin tube.
