Still in the research stage as I'm away at work for another few weeks. :crying-blue:
So after seeing Rummy’s thumper unreal piece of craftsmanship mate and the other’s kicking around I thought it was about time to start on a upgrade for the glasser bulk it up a bit. I have a 80 ltr boiler with 2400 & 3600w elements at the moment just doing single pass with 4 plates very happy with what I’m getting but just looking for that little bit more…. speed , flavor ah I’m kidding myself it’s the WOW factor.
Have had my eye out for small piece of 8” for this purpose but could be waiting for ever to find it & would probably be easier to work around the 6” pipe.
So I have been running a few numbers working around a 6” Inline Thumper.
Looking for a final volume close to 7ltrs including thumper & 4 plates. Would like that little bit more but unsure what is too much for a bath depth in the 6in size.
So the basic plan
FSD 6” x 4” Reducer / Boiler to Thumper
6” Copper Pipe with 6”easy flange approx 500mm, 2” Sight Glass, 2” Fill Port, Small ball valve / drain
Thumper Plate
Cap 2” 430mm
Riser 1 ¾” 420mm
Down Comer 3/4” 400mm with a 2” cup or a couple of 90* and head up the riser still more research needed on this one.
Made a quick spread sheet up to check my volumes its been a while so hope I'm on the right path :?
Thanks
