Jerry, I've used tons of it in an addition in my house for furnace, fireplaces, etc. Its great stuff compared to traditional black pipe. Only drawbacks is the special tools, the fact that the yellow protective jacket isn't super-abrasion-proof, and the price. Oh, and be careful when you cut the stuff. Its as sharp as a razor. I saw my plumber lose a lot of blood (and end up with stitches) when he caught the sharp edge of it on the fleshy part of his palm. Nasty!
