I've picked up a few of their elements. I've just set up a single vessel recirculating automated system with one 2kw element in there. Testing today it works well, I'm going to brew something on it tomorrow. so I'll have some more input.

I'd suggest running running parts to take the full load as you will be running the full load for over an hour straight. I set my 2kw system up with a power cord that takes 20a so it doesn't get too warm.

I hope I didn't miss it earlier in the thread but could anyone who has the 2.5kw circular element tell me how wide the mounting hole needs to be? I punched a 40mm hole in the base of my HEX pot and the element shorted Need to get a replacement and these look the goods.

When I measured the one I have, it looked to be 32mm

Just came across this variation of the 2.5kw element. Would be good for the heat exchanger I think.

I think it would be excellent in a HERMS or even the HLT, if you wanted a bit more power than the normal kettle element.

That looks perfect! Easy install with Kev's method with the convenient size of a kettle element. I'm looking to put on in a HLT.
I might just buy one now.

Great find.

P.S. Uxcell also sell them on their ebay store, not sure if it matters who you go with tbh...

For what it's worth, most sellers selling this stuff are actually uxcell as well. They have many many accounts. The one I bought was uxcell as well, different name on the PayPal email addres, but still at uxcell.com

All comes from the same place

Yeah good point mate.

Have you ordered one of these yet? Did you get any dimensions? I'm thinking they would be perfect in the bottom of a converted keg. I measure the flat spot in the bottom and its 65mm across in diameter.

Thanks kev, but I was looking at the smaller spiral one clueless was talking about.

Size are there




so I think the bolt up would fit into the 65mm

 

[Acasta]

Yeah I did see that but what I'm particularly interested in, and have emailed them about, is from outside nut to nut measurement.

 

[breakbeer]

Acasta, the measurement you're after is the space between the (dead centre of the) two points at the top of the picture, not from the outer edge of the nuts.

edit: nice find btw, I'll be ordering 2 of these

No its not. I need to know if the nuts will also fit into the flat spot. A centre-to-centre measurement would not provide that, unless I also had the OD of the nuts on the threads.

I ordered one, but it isn't here yet. Don't expect it for a couple of weeks....

Is there any problem running the 2500W 220V element on a standard 240V? Will it shorten it's life or is it really a non-issue?

Also 2500W on 220v = ~12Amps I'll take a wild guess this will trip a standard 10Amp circuit?
