Making still connections (boiler to thump/thump to worm)

Post by ArmedOkie »

What is the correct way to go about making the connections between the different pieces of the still setup? Should I solder on some threaded connections? If so, is it super important what kind of connections I use? Do they need flared? Whats the simplest reliable way to go about this safely? I'm assuming I avoid brass. Links or photos appreciated.
