I know it still not welded :oops: but how does this look.
I took out the T and fitted a 90 deg bend and a 45 deg bend

Looks like a potstill :lol:
Before you weld it all together, mock it up where you plan to run it. (It's a pain having to put your collection jars on the floor)
It is the very things that we think we know, that keep us from learning what we should know.

Looks very familiar. And should work a treat. 8)

They're tops those copamate flanges. I use the four inch one and have a four to two reducer, just so i can stick my arm in the keg.

I think I have seen a still like that somewhere before :?: And Yes it is a pain in the arse(back) having your collection jars on the floor I was planing on going back to gas so the collection point was lower than the flame but now I 've got the lectrikery hooked up and sussed out I dont want to cut into my stillin time to build a wheel rim burner.
