I could make the stub out of sheet copper right? Would 2" of it be enough?
Here is my updated design: If my lyne arm proves too difficult to make, I will make something simpler.

Re: Swan Neck Pot Still
I wouldn't go any shorter than 2", and be sure to center it between the adapters. Also, it needs to be pretty close to perfectly round and the correct diameter. If not, it will be impossible to make a reliable seal. [Think capillary.] But considering the price of large diameter tube, if you have the sheet why not give it a shot? If it doesn't work, you're not out much and you learned something.
Distilling at 110f and 75 torr.
