electric keg help

to be technical the metal lug part (screw in part) of most of your water heater elements are not stainless either. (try sticking a magnet on one). I'm assuming these parts will always be submerged in your wash during use, there may be some acidic issues but the parts are not coming in contact with your vapor path. I'm considering this set up also at least for a temporary set up. I'd be interested to hear from other people who have used this bolt on method for their elements. and what kind of corrosion or rusting issues they may have had with the adapter and the element base for that matter.

I haven't had one rust through yet and have built several. My original pot using the adapter plate never rusted due to the nickel plating.

Well thats good enough for me!

I can help a bit with the hardware part. Here is the instructions for a weldless water heater adapter solution.

I hope this helps. I have used this many times without any issues. Many of my friends have pots (ss stock pots) built this way.
Let me know if it is helpful. I generally used the bolt ends that are left hanging to mount a plastic box with the back cut out to cover the whole thing. Left over bolt threads can be cut to length.
