I thought I would post a couple of the copper and csst condensers I have built. It took a little work to get the 45% silver solder joint on the csst to work with confidence.
Just thought I would post and be a part of the forum after lurking so long.
After working out the csst to female adapter joint it is so much easier than coiling copper. It seems to be pretty low on water use and has plenty of knock down for the single 5.5kw element I use. A couple simple condensers I built.

The three inch is about 6ft and the four inch is about 12ft. I also did a long three inch that has 10 to 12 ft.
