Great work, nice copper porn! Is that element threads at the bottom? This is a 'leccy boiler and not gas?

Finishing a few last touches then looking at my first cleaning run this weekend :happy-partydance:

Looking at putting down a TPW wash for my second cleaning/test run tomorrow night and just working out if i run the 20L of rum wash after that solo or if I put on another 20L :think: to do a full charge.
