the copper fittings you using have solder in them make 100% sure its lead free :sick: as people use non solder fittings

Ok, hacksaw cuts it is! Not looking foreward to that job. Did you make cuts just in the upper surface?

Yeah the flux is definatlety lead free, got it from the water pipe section at B and Q

Cool, thanks for the advice. I've not soldered anything yet so I could always swap it for non solder joints and just push it together. My one concern with not soldering is it coming apart during the mash, although they are quite tight. It's these little details that are tricky, nice to be able to pick people's brains! Can't wait to actually do some brewing.....

if for some reason you don't want to use solder then best way is to get a pair of grips and each joint spin so facing wrong direction then give it a little squeeze then move round back to correct place with grips
