Thumper build

[Fishy60]

Starting on my thumper.

[pfshine]

What are the dimensions on it?

[Fishy60]

1 ft. tall and 7 1/2 in. diameter.

[pfshine]

So almost 2.3 gal capacity. How big is your boiler? Don't forget to put a drain with a ball valve and large fill port. Tri clamps are great for all connections.

[Monkeyman88]

Hopefully it's only a 5 gal boiler.

[pfshine]

7 is in spec, or at most 8 would be okish

[Fishy60]

No ive got a good sized boiler, 17 gal., and I know the thumper is small but I think it'll do for now.

[pfshine]

That thump is way to small for that boiler. 1/3- 1/2 of boiler capacity is recommended for a reason. The thump can over fill and puke everything into your jars. Just not advised all around.

[Fishy60]

Well now what?

[pfshine]

Finish it and sell it. Make an inline thumper out of it. Lots of things you could do. Maybe keep it up high and have a return line to the boiler.

[Fishy60]

I was thinking maybe a doubler?

[pfshine]

Huh? A thumper is a doubler.

[Fishy60]

Slobber box sorry not doubler. My bad

[pfshine]

Sure. Why not.
