Hi all
Been stilling about five or six years using a t500
However currently building a packed coloum
4" by 2.5 meters as a continuous stripping unit
Probably 1/4 of the way through getting my parts together
Struggling with max amount of watts I can get into it on a 15amp outlet
And weather the stainless plumbing fittings cheap on eBay are worth my while or bight the bullet and go to plumbing shop

Welcome diggerman, I'm sure you will get all your answers from some of the lads here.
Someone was just thinking about making a continuous stripper, I'm sure they will pop there head in :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome here mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Got any plans for your continuous stripper? If it looks to cheap to be true on FleaBay then you will probably be disappointed :-B

Hi mate, welcome.

Yeah I'd be a little sus on fleabay stainless, it could be a lower grade stainless. Like everything on ebay there's some good and there's some crap. Check the numbers before buying anything, make sure it is 316 or even 304 is ok but if they don't state a grade number be wary.

Best of luck

Welcome diggeman, the max wattage element on a 15A circuit is 3600W.

No plans for stripper on paper however imagine t500 with no boiler Unit,
Planning to insert 2 s/s rod elements vertically through 4" table "D" flange in base
Based on my question about max 15amp circuit will determine what wattage elements I will buy
