Element spacing

Postby macs » Mon May 02, 2016 7:54 am

Hi guys. I'm after some expert advice please. I've got a keg which is nearly complete, everything has been welded and now I can see how the elements are positioned. Both are at the same level and there's a good 10mm gap between the tips. Is that 10mm gap enough? They're 2400w each. Hoping I don't have to start again :angry-banghead:

Cheers
Mike

Too funny! What would like pics of? It's a standard build of 4" connection, 3" fill port, 2x2400w elements, drain on the front. Waiting on delivery of FSD Neutraliser.

Yes, was aiming encouraging you to show more than just the belly of your beast!

Doubleuj was close, oh so close, but in the end fell short of my request. :violence-smack: :D

Considering the hours it's taken to make I'm all to happy to share the progress, plus I've just about gone blind staring at everyone else's builds so I think that's fair. I'll take some pics tonight.

What??? You didn't like my selfie in my where's wally costume?
But seriously, the thread is regarding element spacing Ezi, it's not a build thread. If macs wants to start a build thread, and I reakon he should then it should be separate to this. :teasing-nutkick: :happy-partydance: :teasing-tease:

It's how MUCH I liked your selfie that is causing me consternation! :laughing-rolling: , but I concede that it probably 'should' go into a build thread...


:teasing-tease: Ahhhh stuff it! Do it! Do it here! Do it now! :D

Rebel without a clue!!!! :D

Hats off to you sir, but is it causing you consternation, or constipation?
Because the g string on that thing road up that far it caused me a certain amount of the latter... :laughing-rolling:
