50L Thermobox diameter??

[BarnsleyBrewer]

Got a 50L thermobox coming next week from Nordic, anyone know the exact inside diameter?
Mates making me a SS one with 3mm holes on his firms laser cutting machine
Will 1.5 stainless adequate for the job or will I get away with summat thinner? :hmm:

Thanks'
BB

3 mm holes are too big 1.5 to 2mm

 

[Vossy1]

Totally agree with A regards hole size :thumb:

Hi BB

just measured mine (50 ltr), I make it 396 or 397mm diameter (sorry, the lighting in my attic isn't that wonderful!)

MD made my false bottom and it came with the tun. It's cut a little smaller than that and a split tube around the outside to make it a snug fit.

Nice one Tony :thumb:

Sorry guy's each one is cut per the tun as I have had some differences in sizes, so I always measure then cut, but yeah 400mm sounds right to me

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

Thanks' lads, can't wait to get going.... :thumb:

 

[prolix]

the site says 450mm diameter and my 38 and 70 ones have a wall thickness of about 25mm so 400mm would be a tight fit indeed

 

[Tony]

Yes indeed ... mine was definitely under 400mm - 397 tops!

Nice one MD :thumb: ...........Away you go BB :party: ...Looking forward to seeing your Picts when you've done

If my mate cuts the false bottom in one piece will it go to the bottom or will it need to be split like the ones MD sells?
Think I'll go for 395mm, any thumbs up on this? :hmm:

It will go to the bottom no problems. Can't help with the diameter though, I've got a 60l (I think).
