It's a 5500w! For the half of the element that folds back on itself, it touches the inner wall. Damn, I really don't want to replace this stuff
Back to the main topic of the thread - the triclover rims chamber.
Looks like a good idea to me, given problems with cleaning the original "for dummies" design.
Sawdustguy: I checked the KLG stainless site and they show the Tee's and the clamps, but no additional fittings. Also they say wholesale only, thought it seems like you can order off the site using any Paypal account. You sday you talked to "Kevin" - do they have the additional fittings you needed? Any trouble with not being a reseller?
Thanks - gmartin.
Are you sure they have the 1" NPS to triclover?
Okay, I take it back I tried threading the element into a 1" coupler, and it wouldn't fit. THEN, I tried it in a 1.5" TC x 1" FPT fitting, and it threaded perfectly.
The only complaint I have is that the element will touch the inside of a 1.5" TC rims tube. I'm not convinced that it's going to burn the element out, so it should be fine.
I guess I am confused as to why a few flakes of grain is a big deal, since the only time you are using your RIMS is pre-boil. I mean, I have grain stuck in my MLT from 10 batches ago. I just CANT get it all out no matter how hard I try and no matter how many times I clean the thing. But, I don't really care that much because a couple flakes of grain is nothing compared to 10-20 pounds that I usually dump in there every batch, and it's all going to get boiled for an hour or more anyway.
Some of us are just more obsessive compulsive than others...
This is all it takes.
Fits into this quite nicely:
