As an added bonus you also get more copper surface area plus there cheaper, win win :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What would be the benefit of that that little more surface area? :think:

As stated above im on the road to building my own 4" bubbler. Going to be 4 plates modular using the perferated plate design. Have my 4" and 2" pipe to get me started. My first question may seem obvious to others. Im going to cut my modular sections at 150mm. How do you guys cut your 4" so straight and clean? How would you guys recommend i achieve this? Will keep updated with photos and try and use this section as some motivation!
Cheers

G-day Nathan,for copper pipe cutters do a good job but are expensive for a one off use ,you may be able ta find someone that can lend a set,for stainless ya pipe cutters need the right cutters and be strong enough,they all leave a berr on the inside of the tube wich may need ta be removed,wrapping a piece of paper around so the edges are all in line and tapeing it there is simple guide and then useing either a hacksaw or thin cutting disk in a small grinder,wich you should practice once or twice befor going for the money shot,after I like to put a full sheet of emery paper onto a small piece of glass ,with a little water on it first cleaning up and squareing the end,you can get berr removeing tools or flap wheels do the job too pretty cheap at the big green shed.Have you decided what type of flanges or ferrules you will use,as some may hide wonky cutting more than others .How did you come up with perforated plates,does it relate too ya drink of choice or because its easier ta build with less tools.cheers hillzabilly :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Guess I just love copper and thought the more you use the better off you are but that's just my opinion. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I'm guessing your a stainless man.....
