Yeah, it was, but it was just the adapter, and not the whole kit thingie. However, I paid the same amount.

BTW, you mentioned that the local supplier wouldn't sell to you, have you tried other HVAC outlets in your area? I found that here, some would sell to a non-pro, others would not, and others had a work-around that if you paid at a particular store, they'd give it to you when you brought proof of purchase.

Regarding the local supplier that was the most helpful, I found that they did not 'suffer fools lightly', and that they'd answer a few questions per visit, but didn't see themselves in the public education business. So I researched as much of the info as I possibly could on my own and only prevailed upon them for the really tough stuff. They came to understand the scope of my project and were guardedly amazed at what I was trying to do. I also think they even got a kick out of seeing how fast I was absorbing such a broad area of trade-lore.

Good luck,
