Are the sightglasses pissy or has the front of the 6" shrunk from soldering? If the column has bowed it's possible to shrink the back with some heat and quench with wet rags. Easy does it with quenching... (Pipe is a bastard too)

A bit of both probably, Muppet! I'm not tooooo concerned about it, I plan on rebuilding the plate section of the column. Modular with single 4" caps next time :handgestures-thumbupleft:

1 2, the 3" SSG is for the fill port. What a work of art they are!

Not wrong they are great for a fill port and you can shine your torch in to see where you at with heat up. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

The rate he's going he could've saved up for a 6" Neutralizer on a 100L pro boiler :laughing-rolling:

Wow what a mission seems like your slowly getting there though. I contemplated building one then realised that the amount of time involved to actually do it was harder to get than time to run the pot that I had. So I shelled out the clams and bought one off mac couldn't be happier with it and the product it produces thank you mac and Mrs mac
Good luck with the rest of your build mate time is something that can be very hard to find at times :text-coolphotos: btw
