Could anyone point me in the right direction to get a 2.5"-2" reducer, maybe in the QLD area or website, can't seem to find any.

Tradelink plumbing supplies is where I got mine
You willl also need a coupling as well

Hey thanks again Yum :handgestures-thumbupleft: I have no idea where to go. Bunnings and masters is all I know.

Look up plumbing supplies in the yellow pages.Places plymbers buy their stuff.
Bunnings only supply domestic sizes.

You could check out Carrington copper online.They have mouthwatering catalogue but no prices.You have to ring them.Their prices are very good and they do mail order

Mix of stainless and copper looks good

That's from China so the postage will take a while, you could also check with Mac and see if he has one kicking around.

Just be aware that eBay gear from china that states it's 316 may not be true ;-)

Is 304 SS no good sorry don't much about metals, will it rust if its not 316?

No 304 shouldn't rust but shit from china that states it's 304 has been known too, can also be magnetic 8-}

Buy it and find out :handgestures-thumbupleft: if it's shit all you have wasted is your time and money :teasing-tease:

OK

SS304, SS316, SS304L & SS316L are all fine as long as it's welded with the right filler & produced by a "reputable factory" , with the latter being hardest to find.

The cheapest shit you find is generally just that, cheap shit! and the variances in material quality appear.

2.5" sanitary fittings are available, I only stock clamps, ferrules seals in this size, but due to demand this sized components are by pre order only.

I get the whole trying to save money part, but if your order turns to shit who answers you ? Local might be a little slower, but you have me watching your back if your gear turns up not quite right ;-)

2c :smile:

After a brief read on the subject I probably would only buy tri clamps off ebay all internal stuff not worth waating money on when you could pay a bit more and only pay once. Thanks mate for the advice.

ya can lead a horse to water... but .... :))

Hey Mac would you have a short 2.5" to 2" reducer? Or even a reducer of this size and whats the price on them if you have.

You'd be better off using copper reducers and easy flanges if you want it quick ;-)

I've got some copper ones here, how many do you want ? and what are they worth to you ? :))

Everyone loves photos, here are the bits I have so far + a keg the pipe is 2.5" going to a standard keg. So only really need 1 but could use some clamps too. Going to make the column and condenser modular.

Got the reducer from Midway with all may other SS gear, they pretty local to me so was eay to get. I do believe someone on here did metion Midway can't remember where I saw it though.
