Hi All, my 15gal brew kettle has 3 ports; current configuration is: ball valve (bottom #1), sight glass (bottom #2), and thermometer (middle). I am thinking of removing the sight glass and instead installing a whirlpool return arm, however most of them are designed for top ports, with the arm pointing down. Do you see any issues with installing a whirlpool return arm in a bottom port in which the arm faces *up*? Note the top of the whirlpool arm would still have a 90-degree bend, so I'd imagine that clogging wouldn't really be an issue... I just haven't seen anyone with a pot configuration that way so I was wondering if there are any gotchas/issues I should be aware of. Thoughts?
