Awesome. I got an email yesterday that the correct fitting shipped. I should be putting this thing together at the end of next week after finals are over. Thank you so much guys.

This is great help. And the 5500W 240v element will run on a 20 amp circuit just fine? Thank you!

With that said, anyone have any further recommendations on an appropriate heater element? Home Depot nor Lowes seems to have an incloy, fold back 120v ULWD. :p Thank you so much guys.

Even if I managed to bend the element, the small size of it won't work in my system. I should have paid attention to the measurements before blindly purchasing it. So here are a list of replacement elements. Again, I am running 120v. http://bostonheatingsupply.com/SP10868GL.aspx These...

Turns out that Glacier tanks sent the wrong fitting. What an ordeal! They are sending a new one out as soon as possible.

I'll try that. I am brewing tomorrow morning, but I wasn't planning on using the RIMS tube yet.

I removed the fitting. Even if the element managed to fit through the fitting, it would touch the sides of the element. I am pretty pissed right now, especially since their website says that it will fit most elements. I called and left an angry message.

Crap. Should I try to bend the one I have or just go buy a new one?

Look what finally arrived in the mail today! Just by looking at it I don't think the heating element will work. Moreover, it doesn't freaking fit through the fitting! For those of you guys that have this setup, did you have to bend the element?

Thanks, but I already have the ELD 1500w 120v from plumbingsupply. I guess if people are not having any problems with it, I shouldn't either. If I do, I will go ahead and get the Camco element. The waiting for my RIMS tube continues.

Everything has arrived, except for my rims tube. I decided to take the time to re-read some of this thread. I noted some people complaining about scorching with the popular ELD plumbingsupply element because it is too small. http://www.plumbingsupply.com/images/water-heater-element-2853.jpg...

Awesome. What were the hiccups?

Thanks. I've seen ads on craigslists, and I am sure there are people at my homebrew club that can weld. I just want to learn for my personal benefit. Good luck on your brew day!

I did it. All the online stuff has been ordered. I received my RTD and heating element. I should be getting my RIMS tube next week. I am waiting on some camlocks that I ordered a few days ago. And, I just placed my auberins order. I still need a toolbox, wires, and cords, but I can get all that...

Very nice! Still waiting on my RIMS tube, but that's ok because I am currently broke and can't purchase all the electronic stuff yet.

That is so amazing. Did you put together most of that yourself? I wish I had welding and electrician experience. Oh and of course, some spare time to do all this lol. Oh and money, haha. Anyway, your system looks great.

That's great! Post some pics of your rig!

I misspoke. I'm putting in some quick disconnects, so I won't be using hose barbs. I'm just going to wait the month. I can save up money for the electronics and some brewing ingredients.

Just got off the phone with them. The shipment with the RIMS tubes was shared with another supplier. Somehow bugs grew in the container and they had to send everything back. I am looking at 3-4 weeks before they ship the item. I told them I would call back to cancel if I find an alternative...

That's a nice rig! So, do I need the 1 NO 1 NC version or the 2 NC version of the switches? I got my heater element over the weekend. Even though I saw the picture online, it seems smaller than what I was expecting. Still no rims tube. I'll have to call glacier again.
