(that's what she said).
So I purchased this element for a RIMS build in 1.5" stainless pipe, but the fold over at the end wouldn't fit through the 1" adapter to screw it in. So a couple questions:
#1 - Am I just a moron and trying to assemble it wrong? I have the 1.5" tee, with a 1.5" to 1.0" bushing, and the fold over just wont' fit through that 1" hole. Is there some sort of mind-game that I'm supposed to be playing with here?
#2 - If not, I need a new element. I'm running 120v, not 240, so I'm not sure how that wattage affects the listed density ratings. Anything from this page is available locally for me. This says it's rated low watt density, and 1440 seems like a decently low number for this project.
I have everything else I need for the tube, and the last of the items for my control panel arrives today, so i'm hoping to get this knocked out this week, with local parts.
Help?
Thanks
