The tri clamp valve info

They are suitable for our coolant temp ranges, and have fine adjustment.

Now I will do some more design work to develop a clamp on cooling manifold for the FSD range, as an optional extra :D

These would be made with 1.5mm holes on a 5mm grid pattern to fit the FSD custom plate seals I'm bringing in.

Cheers.

These I am interested in any more news on them

Shown here is the 3" version, they are also available in 4"

If there's enough interest I could order them in next weeks order, the prices for these would be around $75 for the 3" & $85 for the 4" however if I get enough interest and order 100 the prices could be quite a bit lower.

Cheers.



Hey Mac,
Do you have the sight glass/fill ports in stock? Are the 3" $75? I am keen to get one of these for my boiler.

Personally I can't wait for the launch of FSD.com.au, but my bank account, along with every other member of aussiedistiller, is quivering at the thought. Can't wait Mac.

It is indeed a pleasure Mac. I love designing artwork. It is my other passion aside from distilling. Cheers.
