Got the ampmeter and converter in from Mike yesterday and everything is working fine. Ordered my elements and remaining items needed for the element boxes as well as all the fittings needed for the new pots. Hope to be able to do a leak test next week someday. Still have to run my 240 to the basement and hook up my exhaust fan before I can do an actual trial run through the system.

ps.- took a dark shot of the panel just for kicks!

Who did you end up using for your fittings/parts? I have been driving myself crazy cross comparing each and every part over 5 or 6 different vendors and supply companies trying to get the best price. I have a supply company by my house that has "some" stainless parts, but can get everything on my list. Still waiting on my quote from them. What I am finding is that it's hard to beat bargainfittings.com for their weldless bulkheads. I have been using Kal's materials list and cross comparing all of the vendors and cannot come close to the $11 ea. for the weldless bukhead kits. By the time you part out the 1/2" ss closed nipple thread, the ss lock washer, the ss washer/shim, the O rings, and the coupling (or whatever other fixture you choose), the cost greatly exceeds the BF kits. Is this what you found? It looks like I'm just going to use BF.com for the weldless kits and the majority of the fittings if the supply company by my house isn't competetive. Any suggestions from your end?

Another questions: How many hours do you have into the control panel assembly? Just planning ahead. BTW....great work so far, can't wait to see everything come together.

I went with bargain fittings. Honestly, I didn't even compare prices with anyone. I have in the past and bargain fittings is always the best deal. Plus, Wayne is great to work with. I needed a custom diptube made up for the system and he didn't charge extra or anything like that. I will always use him for fittings as long as he is around. As for the control panel, it took me a week and a half from the time I got it to the time to turn it on. One weekend was a lot of work gettingball the holes done and painting. After that, maybe an hour or two each night wiring it up. Thanks foe tbw compliments!

The control panel came out great and that is a pretty nice early christmas present... Out of curiousity, what is the large diptube for?
