2 in column reduced to 1.5 ok?
I don't see this as being a problem, but I thought I would ask the experts. I am mostly concerned with a pot still, but this is easily converted to a reflux, so it kind of concerns both. My boiler has lid that has a 1.5 in sanitary fitting (tri clamp), I am planning on building a 2 in column so I will put a reducer coming out of the boiler to the 2 in column. Any issues with this?

I see no reason a 1-1/2" to 2" reducer wouldn't work.

I ran 2” keg with 4” column. Works fine. Also had a 2 cups boca that went 2”, 1”, back to 2”. Also worked fine.
