I haven't gotten around to paint it yet as I wanted to get through all the wet tests. I'm currently using zip ties to support the sections when it is hanging. I might look at modifying some of the PVC leftovers to make some braces.
I also modified the original design to shorten the segments and just add an extra run. I did it because I wanted this to fit on the back of my brew cart and I also wanted to have all the connections on one end so they would be easier to manage. I also added a 1/2" compression to 1/2" FNPT fitting to the in and out sides of the wort line so that I could add my quick disconnections (currently Kent quick disconnects). For the water in and outs, I added 3/4" MNPT to 3/4" MGHT.
Overall Parts List:
3 x 10' 1" PVC pipe - Home Depot - $3.49 each = $10.47
3 x 10' 1/2" copper pipe - Home Depot - $10.83 each = $32.49
14 x 1"x3/4" FNPT bushing - Home Depot - $0.96 = $13.44
12 x
1/2"x3/4" MNPT compression fitting - US Plastics - $2.01 each = $24.12
12 x 1" PVC tee - US Plastics - $0.54 each = $6.50 (you could get these at Home Depot but they were cheaper from US Plastics)
2 x 1/2"x1/2" FNPT compression fitting - US Plastics - $3.56 each = $7.12
2 x 3/4" MNPTx3/4" MGHT - US Plastics - $0.52 = $1.04
2 quick disconnects - already had
6' silicone tubing - already had
hose clamps - already had
PVC cement - already had
Total - $95.18
Looking back, I wonder if 5/8" OD x 3/4" MNPT compression fitting would have worked better since you might not have to drill them out.
