    Are you looking for a program for free?

    That may be a problem as most all (reliable), websites that I know-of charge for this engineering software. :-)

    Work with

    your distributor. They may have knowledgeable staff that already posses the software and the skill to do it properly and if not, he will probably know someone that does like a local rep.

    Thanks for the input. I called the tubing manufacturer and your right, they want to charge you. I also have used a local rep in the past but one time I actually went to their office and the salesman did not use a computer program. He just said " 100,00 btu should do it". I was not to confident with that reply. I will try Loop Cad.
