this way you dont need to add all those fittings to your T's?

What I want to achieve is a clean in place (CIP) recirculating system I can leave on for a night using the boiler and elements as a heat source & storage tank for around 20 to 30 litres of hot recirculating acid wash, then dump the acid for a fresh water flush for a good 5 minutes.

If you have a cleaning ball between each plate, will you need a ball valve on each one to prevent possible vapour movement through the cleaning pipes during a run?

Just make sure you have a good water and oil separator on your compressor or you will fill the still up with yucky shit. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

If we start using a vacuum on our still she will know that we recognise what it is and expect us to use it on the floors as well. I'm trying to avoid that job.
