Wrought copper

Post by Lynx_Gen »

hey there, didnt know quite rightly where to post this.. anyways, here it is.

For some reason it runs in my mind that i read something someplace that indcated its not good or ok to use "wrought" copper in the still construction.

doing a search turned up nothing for "Wrought copper"

(9 results, to do with wrought iron and some brandy.. lol)

anyways, wanted to ask if it is or isnt ok to use wrought copper in still construction.

I found places up here in canada, (Bartle n Gibson contractor suplies) that has plenty of copper fittings and flanges and goodies! (Its where i got my 2" pipe when i was in the city last time)

anyways, if wrought is okay to use, then it opens up a load of options and goodies.

Thanks in advance!

(May have to make another trip to the city tommorrow to get the rest of the parts and pieces to have my still built this weekend! :D)

~L~

Edit:
Also while im at it, do you guys think one of these pumps will work out okay for a recirculating setup to the condenser? (will be 1/4" tubing of course)

250 gal per hour

or one of these - they look to be battery operated.. they're cheap enouh i may just pick one up and toss it in a container of water and see how long it lasts..

500 gph

12800GPH

they're all pretty cheap too.. cheap enough to make me worry as well tho..

:D
