Nearly finished the new 80ltr HLT build so thought I would post a couple of shiny pictures, just needs wiring, stickers for the sight tube and some stainless cover discs for the flush bottom.

How do you connect the elements to the electrical supply?
Also are these the same elements:

Are you going to fit a stainless collar around the bottom to allow side entry for the cables or are you going straight in the bottom?
Thanks for your advice, :![]()
Thanks. A beautiful pot - well done. I have been experimenting with the various issues with different ways of fitting a sight glass - all methods seem to have their pros and cons with no one best way of doing it. I will be posting my ideas soon.barneey said:chastuck said:How did you fix the bolt that holds the top of the sight glass - does it go through both walls?
So as to avoid the need to go through both skins a managed to cut a thread in the "very thin" wall outer skin and just threaded the bolt eye in. The second idea was to do exactly the same but to squirt some epoxy resin into the hole for extra security. The eyebolt itself is just there for a steady really.

Baldbrewer said:4mm? :shock: also where did you buy your pots? Thanks for the reply :thumb:
Looking at buying 3. 1 for HLT, 1 for boiler and 1 for mash tun.
