OK team. I want to present my RIMS tube plan. It's $100 without shipping from MSC Direct. I have to cite all the SS RIMS tube articles on HBT, without them I wouldn't know what else to do.
It's much more expensive to make this with SS or copper, as far as I've seen trying to part this thing out.
Basically, I'm planning on using 2x 1 1/4" tees. 3 of those tee ports will have 1 1/4" - 1/2" bushings to reduce down to thermocouple and quick disconnects. One end will have 1 1/4" - 1" bushing to reduce down to the heating element. The pipe in between will be made from 2 nipples - 1x 2" long and 1x 6" long. A pipe union will connect the two for easy cleaning, with the shorter nipple on the same tee as the heating element.
Does anybody see an issue with this plan?
Thanks
