The topic of using inline thumpers is widespread across the net, LWTCS even has videos & explanations on youtube... like I said earlier

What's it do? well that's a huge write up to explain in detail, but it can hold a lot of distillate & if used properly can help shorten run times


Cheers.

Sorry mate, I've been busier than a bricklayer in Afghanistan and missed your question :oops:

The still height of the blockhead is 1150mm not including the keg :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Each 6 x 4 reducer is 180mm tall so x 2 is 360mm

This rig is for a 4" keg mount, if you wanted it to fit you would need to add a 4 x 2 reducer when you order, however I think you'd be a lot better off with the 4" keg connection.

This rig weighs in at around 25kg it's no lightweight & would put a lot of pressure/stress on a 2" keg mount I'd imagine, but that is entirely the buyers decision to make, not mine :D
