So here are the pics of the progress I made that I mentioned in the last post:
Frame Primed:
Close up of some of the welds and fittings and such:
Sight glass and one of the nuts with an element threaded in
The bottom drain with butterfly valve on it. Also the welder made the custom length elbow, turned out nicely. I have ordered some pipe supports to hold the weight of the valve and piping so that the bottom triclover isn't taking all the weight. Working the valve puts lots of force on it.
Close up of a temp prob with M8 connector for easy removal.
Inside shot of the elements i threaded in. Its what I had on hand. 2 x 4500 and a 5500:
I'm really glad I thought ahead about how long the heating elements were before I had the nuts welded on. I had to offset them vertically.
Comment!!
Edit: Oh yeah!! I filled the thing with water and no leaks!!! 2 more to test out.
