Do you have a rough idea how much the short, straight sections will be? Is there one available the same length as the bubbler modules? That way I could have the same table height in 4 plate, 5 plate, 5 plate and packed section etc etc modes. I'll probably get them later down the track, will run the rig a few times first and see if the extras are needed.

Cheers,
Dave.

I've only bought the 3/4" sections in 100mm & 400mm for the gin baskets and packed sections this time, I havnt had the chance to go through my invoices yet to figure pricing.

I'll be doing that tomorrow or the next day though, and can get them made in any lengths you guys want, and as you suggest one for the tee sections would be useful :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers.

Hmmm looks the goods. Would it be worth chucking some loose copper mesh in the middle there just so some copper is in the vapour path?

Thanks EG, maybe you'll use these instead of the others you've been buying, and the elements are better than the ones you use too.... :handgestures-thumbupleft:

new boiler sight glass/fill port :D

IMG_1543.JPG


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.
