If you are using copper tubing for the primary, it is easy to splice in an 
extension. I cut the head off of a brass screw that just fits snuggly inside 
the copper tubing and give it a slight bend to try to match the radius of 
the primary tubing. I slip this inside each end of the tubes to be spliced 
and then, I just sweat solder the joint. It's a piece of cake. Good luck.
