Hello,
I have been searching and searching and can not find an instance where someone has used a welded 1" coupling or lock nut to the keg/kettle and then mounted a rippled ULWD element.
I assume this is because there is no way to ensure the element is sitting "flat" to the bottom of the kettle so folks just use a weldless option to mount these elements? (1" nut on the inside and a silicon washer)
Bottom line -
I am ready to buy fittings, drill and prep my keg for my welder but not sure the best way to mount this element.
Is there a straight ULWD element that folks use for 5500w and would work with a welded coupler?
What am I missing here?
thanks in advance -
Kevin
