HbPs' lil modular thumper. Tips and pointers welcome.

[Hillbilly Popstar]

Scored a free 5 gallon stainless keg on the side of the road.

So why not a thumper to mate to my 8 gallon milk can?!

I also had a bunch of 1.5" DWV and a small section of 2" copper pipe on hand, so that pretty much dictated my sizing on everything.

Main boiler reduces to 1.5" lyne arm, which then reduces to a 1" pipe to shoot steam down into the thumper/secondary.
Then the head on that is a short modular 2" column.
The plan in the future is to add 2-2" 90s and run this to a shotgun condenser.
Shout out to Michigan Corn Husker for the inspiration and the numerous others who have gone before me with amazing modular steamer/thumper builds!

I pretty happy with everything and will braze it all up this week. The only parts I am unsure about are the lyne arm length and whether or not the 2"x2"x1" tee should be a little higher off the top of the thump keg?
