    I thought that too and it may well be yes - I'll give them a call tomorrow. But it's just strange I cant find any information on the web.

    as with all merchants and manufacturing in general, things are made by one manufacturer and rebranded for others. Everybody thinks rothenberger makes gas torches and pipeslices is an example of this.
    Ammonia is found on Pluto, Jupiter and, in small amounts, on Uranus.
