Sweet!

But keep an eye on it. Supposedly there might be a greater chance that section of the line could melt the insulation. If it doesn't over time then maybe I'll include in the DIY. I am still periodically checking my lines for excess heat or signs of damage/melting. Good thing I have a fire extinguisher in the car ready for anything.
