My eHLT/HERMS build planning is coming along. I'm working out where exactly I'd like all the holes on my keg, how big, what coupling, etc., and I'd like the ability to remove to element quickly without having to unscrew from a locknut and then worrying about getting it to seal when I replace it. I'm thinking a 1" camlock would do the trick. I'd start on the keg wall with a 1" half coupling, and screw in a 1" type B (male NPT) camlock fitting. The element itself would be attached to a 1" type A (female NPT) fitting. Do you see any problems with this? I know that the element is straight thread but I also know it's not an issue. I'd probably use some high temp silicone to seal the element threads into the camlock threads. Will clearance for the element be an issue? Will the heat coming off the element ruin the camlock gasket? Anything I'm missing?!
TIA!
