Yes, they actually make them!

Found the proper coupling which I believe can be welded into the side of a keg (or other stainless steel boiler) and will fit a water heater element.

If anyone wants one, let me know, will order wednesday and will be available for shipment by friday.

Price is as of yet undetermined, but I think I can ship them out for around $12 each (shipping included).

Local plumbing supply place. The picked up the phone to their supplier, told them exactly what I was looking for, and 30 seconds later had them available.

Sales rep going to deliver them personally Friday.

Also found a place where I can get some standard wall stainless tubing (bout like copper), in sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

its called a one inch half coupling, 12 bucks is a bit high, i usually pay about six. i use a 5500 w element from home depot that seals without a problem, use them in my kettles and stills
