I picked up my keggle earlier this week from my welder. It has been a long week with not much free time. I did have a bit of time to dabble with it though, by attaching all the various parts.
In the back is a 1" half coupling for my heating element. At about half way in the element seems tight. I put a wrench on it and only get 3/4 s in before I am too concerned to crank any harder. The element sits about 1 thread proud of having the o-ring seat on the outside of the coupler.
Anyone else run into this? I am contemplating adding a washer to get the o-ring compressed against the coupler or maybe cranking a little more on the element. As i have said I have not had much time to tinker with it but, I am trying to get all my ducks in order to get it running this weekend.
