This heating element and heating element controller works great for our 8 gallon and 13 gallon stills and still boilers as well as ourbeer keg stills up to 15.5 gallons (must have element port). You will need to attach your own plug to the power cord and wire into a 30 AMP breaker. If you are going to use this heating element controller with your own boiler your boiler will need a 2″ tri clamp ferrule and a 2″ tri clamp and 2″ silicone gasket. This controller draws 25 amps @5500 watts 220 VAC single phase.

This controller includes:

• 30 Amp twist lock plug
• 30 Amp double pole switch
• 40 Amp SSR
• 30 amp panel meter
• 12′ of cord from the controller to the element box

DETERMINING TRI CLAMP SIZE

Tri Clamp sizes are determined by the outer diameter of the pipe or tubing, not the outer diameter of the flange or Tri Clamp itself. The flange of a Tri Clamp fitting typically has about a inch greater diameter than the outside diameter of the pipe. This can become especially confusing when the Tri Clamp fitting has no pipe attached to it, as is the case with adapters, For instance, a1.5″ Tri Clamp to 1/2″ hose barb adapteris not 1.5″ inches in any dimension, but the Tri Clamp end will fit any other 1.5″ Tri Clamp fitting.

If you have any doubts about what size Tri Clamp fittings your project needs, simply measure the outside diameter of the flange (dimension “B” below) and consult the chart below, or feel free tocontact us.
