Coper Coil SS End Cap Help

Post by Gr8brewer »

I Am unable to come up with a good way to mount my coil I would like to mount it via some sort of bulkhead flair or compression fitting. Has anyone done this. If I take it to a welder can stainless be welded to copper?

Thanks,
M

are you struggling to hold it at the right height? Mine has a fork stuck in it at the moment :lol: I've also used mesh wrapped around it to make the fit snug. but you could just solder on a copper cross piece couldn't you? It doesn't need to be covered.
