So I have been reading RIMS for dummies and a few other threads about building a RIMS heater. Either I am losing my vision or am just confused; but I can't seem to find a good answer. I am going with a 240V 5500W camco heater element which requires a min. of 14" in diameter. I am ordering the 1 1/2 stainless steel fitting from Murrays. The issue for me is what length of nipple would I need to connect the tees with that size element. Would an 8" or a 10" be sufficent. Or do I need to go longer. My Thermocouple is 3 Inch by the way. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks
