Just made my first placcy boiler with kettle elements converted and wired with a hot socket from maplins used a 15mm ball valve tap and a 15mm flanged compression tank connector just fired it up to test for leaks no leaks and got a rolling boil, at this moment in time I am only using one element and I only filled the 30ltr vessel half full or half empty if you prefer I am a little nervous about the flimsiness of the container especially when turning the tap handle it seems to pull it out of shape, bottle was twitching a bit has anyone else experienced the same thing with their build I think the health and safety has gone out the window "I don't feel right with it"
I think in the new year I might invest in a safer option and go gas & shiny boiler I could use the placcy boiler for a HLT what price can you put on safety what do you think?. :hmm:
