So it's time for me to jump onto the bubbler bandwagon. I love the appeal of the glass builds and think it would help me learn how it works abit easier given the view.
So I went for the 110mm glass. 2mm thick plates. On a 4 inch copper column until out of the RC, then straight down to 2 inch, do the 180 bend and into 2 inch shotgun PC, with a supporting bar in there to help with the side loading stress, as per Newstilla's build.
The downcomers is where I'm still a bit undecided/unsure. I'm thinking around the 20mm mark for depth would suit (I mostly do BWKO). However I'm not sure what would be the ideal distance below the plate to make the cap. Whether to make the short dc as per bt's build or have just above bath depth. Or does it really matter? Also, what is the better size to use? I have fair bit of 1/2 inch and 3/4 from last build.
Any thoughts on height of RC would also be greatly appreciated. I'll use 4 inch with either 1/2 or 3/4 depending on what ideas pop up. Will be running off a recirculating rainwater tank (5000L that's already plumbed into garage) with a 100L (total capacity) boiler, which is just waiting for me to scratch funds together to get elements.
This will be a slow build as I also suffer from a golf addiction
