So the T500 is flimsy but can handle the weight of my 1.5m packed column below. but if i dont do it up tight on the lid it can sometimes leak a few drops of boiler crap. used to do this occasionally with the original T500 too.
I want to cut the column maybe 2" above the lid (higher) and make a flange. And i was thinking of removing all seals and fluxing it all and filling it with solder in the join, T500 nut and all, so solder the nut, lid and bottom 2" column/flange.
Just wondering if anyone has had a lid like this too, leak a little in the run from the shitty T500 connection 8-}
and if anyone has any advice on the lid soldering it would be greatly appreciated. I have done copper to stainless with success before. it will be soft solder and ill prob use a shitload of solder :D
the lid and slow leak of what taste like whats in the boiler. charge was 22L of about 9%
cheers
