I'm trying to get a better understanding of the construction of a copper tubing manifold for the MLT before I start working on mine. I have a few questions and can't seem to find definitive answers to them so far...
1. If the tubing is not soldered together, what keeps it from coming apart when using the mash rake to stir up the grains?
2. What kind of connection is made between the manifold and the ball valve to keep them together?
3. What is the best process for removing burrs from the inside of the tubing after cutting the slits?
4. Is 1/2" tubing the preferred size or should it be larger?
