Sorry forgot nothing much to it just a pipe in the top elbow spraying down on top of the reflux condenser then running town through the plates to the boiler where its pumped out to the sink or in the case of a puke I can recycle various grades of water [soap ,citric acid ,vinegar , alcohol ,] I am fortunate to have a commercial sink with hot and cold water on tap

I've found that all the preliminary build plans get chucked out the window once you start burning copper, it kinda gets in your blood then & you really start seeing how much you can improve things once you're there.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this rig completed, it's going to be a cracker.... but please dont insulate it with duct tape :laughing-rolling:

There goes another idea down the drain there will be three sections that I would like to insolate ;a 4 port mod section ;a 1 plate mod, and 500 mm packed section from the rc over the top down through the shotty I will leave polished
Ok any ideas and photos of stuff to use

:text-+1:
Mate a decent soak and all that crap will come off.... then scrub her up with steel wool and jiff.
You won't want to take your eyes off her.
Would be a real shame to cover that with lagging.

Just my opinion..

Hey Aussie.
Nice to see someone has made it to the end of the build :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Notice your parrot is right at sitting level :))
May as well get comfortable I guess :handgestures-thumbupleft:

It happens regularly.
I've been thrown off the site and looking at the list of who was on.... there was my name. WTF?

So you just wait and eventually it sorts itself out.
