condenser and cooling

Post by Copperhead road »

I am wondering if a gatlon gun condenser is much good??? compared to worm in bucket, the pot still I want to buy has still head with 26 inch long condenser. the outside diameter is 1.5 inch with 3 tubes running straight down the inside. will normal tap water running from hose be cold enough when hooked up to condenser arm???
the whole rig is 14 gauge copper

Have you searched around for this? We generally call those "shotgun condensers" here. Try searching for that in the HD Google search. There have been several threads about building and using them.
