few keg pot still build questions/solder and flex in canada

[dendog33]

Keg colum to doubler to worm

1 solder and flex to use in canada.

2 should the pipe off the colum be 90 degrees then down or on a slightly more upward angle then down to the thumper.

3 i see kits that come with o-rings do the kegs need orings,ptfe gasket or both.

Last but not least 4 copper ferrule or stainless steel. I am leaning toward stainless and buying it already attached to copper tube.

before Iget ripped. I have been using an airstill and mak8ng tpw for a few year and have been reading about what to do for a while just wwondering if iI I can get some info from some of the more experienced members.
Any insights appreciated

Make sure you use lead free solder. Flux should be a water soluble flux also as its easier to clean. I got mine at Canadian tire.

2 should the pipe off the colum be 90 degrees then down or on a slightly more upward angle then down to the thumper.

I sugest you look at the build treads.. Also Crankys spoon feeding has lots of good info and answers!

3 i see kits that come with o-rings do the kegs need orings,ptfe gasket or both.

Look into the everlast, material selection is covered in Cranky's spoon feeding also. My Boka is attached to my keg using an everlast seal. As you know materials like rubber silicon etc are not acceptable materials for still building.

Copper is easier to solder to but will cost you a bit more. Stainless is harder to solder but doable. You do need specific flux and its better to user higher silver solder. There are a ton of threads here about soldering stainless.

FYI Hi Fellow Canadian! Good luck with your build... But I think you need to do a bunch more reading first.. Best to do ti right the fisrt time. Also don't forget about your cleaning runs.

Also 4 posts with the same question was a bit much......
