This 55 gallon still was built from a used maple syrup barrel. This still has a stainless steel head with a copperLiebig condenser.All of our copper heads and columns are TIG welded using food gradeDHP copper welding rod. This means that the welds areas strong, or stronger, than the surrounding metal. This DHP copper rod melts at around 1,700 F, while the solder that our competitorsusemelts at around400F. Solderjoints are not nearly as strong as our welds, plus solder is messy, runs andgets all over the metal, while our welds aretight, clean and pretty.These 55 gallon stills are made from used stainless steel food grade barrels and may have some small dings and dents.This 55 gallon still is durable and is made with the highest quality. If you are looking for a pot still that is easy to operate, this 55 gallon still is for you.This still comes with:

• Built from aheavy gauge SS304 food grade stainless steel barrel
• Polished inside and out.
• Commercial grade thermometer with a 3″ face
• 1″ Drain valve
• Removable ring clamp lid
• High temp alcohol resistant ring clamp gasket
• 2″ Tri clamp filler neck on lid
• This still comes with complete operating instructions.

The 24 gauge copper stills that you see elsewhere on the internet are so thin that you can take your hands and crush them like a huge beer can. If you flip a 24 gauge copper still with your thumb and fore finger it will make a dent. If you punch this stainlessbarrel with your fist, you might break your fist but there won’t be a dent.This item comes with a 1 year warranty which covers manufacturing defects and leaks.Built to Last!Hand it Down to Future Generations!

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.
