Nice one bluc.
I'd recommend stuffing a little bit of copper mesh in amongst the coils of the condenser to help it knock the vapour down.

Is coil removable? Mine seems to be welded in.. :think:

I don't think it is removable, I just pushed the mesh down loosely through the top.

Dumb question of the day number 1, Anyone know where to get a stainless compression fitting to suit 1/2" copper and has a 3/8th male thread. Have searched the usual hbs's etc but no one seems to have one..

Ifn it is for the output tube 3/8 or 1/4 would work ,I used ta run 1/4inch output tube ,then ran it thru 1/2inch tube about 40cm long for a leiburg product cooler as the output can be quite warm.I just cut two small lengths of 1/4inch tube ,and after running the output tube thru the 1/2inch tube ,stuck one of the small 1/4 inch tubes in each end and crimped it a little befor soft soldering it up ,then add brass water fittings if ya like .cheers hillzabilly ;-)
