Still design question

[WallyGator]

I've been reading as much as I can on the parent site, and had a question about one of the examples listed. In Mike Pemberton's Vapour Management Still, the description shows using a 1000 mm aluminum tube with ss scrubbers. Was I wrong in assuming that the only acceptable construction materials were supposed to be ss or copper, or a combo of both? Thanks in advance!

Hi. All the advice I have read and received says Only SS or Copper. The negative comments I have seen regarding Aluminum had to do with deteriation and lack of integrity of the Aluminum, and not some leaching of elements concern.
I'm no expert, just sharing what I have read.

Thank you Otis, Structural safety over time is important to me as well. Glad to hear its not an issue of something nasty leaching into the steam/reflux though.

Good catch. You are correct.
The parent site has outdated entries and is currently going through an IT correction phase to get errors like that straightened out.
No aluminum!

Good catch keep reading the parent site and when you find those questionable things let the powers that be know about them here
