Nah it's 4" the fill port is 6"

There's just not enough room for two 6" ports on the 100L, I just run a 6" x 4" reducer off my boiler :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[MacStill]

How tall is the 100L boiler Macca? I'll do some calculations.
Cheers

The 100L is 805mm to the top of the still mount (4" ferrule) :handgestures-thumbupleft:

A few times I've been asked about the 6" port on our boilers being able to be used as a viewing port also, I didnt like the idea of a 150mm x 3mm piece of glass there and started thinking what can be done.

I ordered a couple of these to try out & reckon they're just the ticket for those wanting wide screen viewing :teasing-neener:

Something else is starting to take place too, I know this will make my life in the shed a lot easier :dance:

:D

Recon thats a internal washer for the boiler :think:

[TheMechwarrior]

That CIP nozzle kit looks bloody fantastic Mac :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[MacStill]

You can not use it without the fill port cap on to see what it does :angry-banghead: and no I didnt get any pics :naughty:

:ymblushing:

[pulsetech]

Did you get wet ?

:)) :)) :))

Does that CIP head auto rotate with water pressure. :-B

Yeah mate, there's heaps of vids on utube if you search cleaning spray ball :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Now I'm happy with their performance :O) I have plans to put some custom designs I've been working on into production :dance:

[MacStill]

This is pretty much the exact one I got as a sample :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[pulsetech]

Sweet

I would like one at some point. Be easy to just pop another ferrule in the top of the boiler :happy-partydance:

[MacStill]

Yep!

...... with a march pump & RIMS system attached to the drain I could pump a hot citric solution through the system, simply change a threeway valve and/or disconnect pump to flush with clean water provided by the condensers ;-)

A bit like this

I Have one of these I plan to use on my mash tun setup http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/809-FOOD-GRA ... 46203c978d
would that do the job ?

[MacStill]

This is what I'd like to end up with on my 6" rig, I'll need a weldless solution for mine.... but in future I can just add a 1" or 3/4" ferrule inconspicuously around the back of each tee & the top reducer.

What I want to achieve is a clean in place (CIP) recirculating system I can leave on for a night using the boiler and elements as a heat source & storage tank for around 20 to 30 litres of hot recirculating acid wash, then dump the acid for a fresh water flush for a good 5 minutes.

Once thats done I can hook my compressor up to the outlet (parrot removed) and blow dry the sucker :dance:

I think 19 L/PM @ 3.4m max head height is going to be a little under gunned, I want my setup to be fairly high pressure so will look into pumps in depth once I get the other things sorted.
