Damn, you are good! 8) I thought from the picture that you had your thermowell in upside down.

Neat setup!
Have Fun!

Andy

There was an engineering changes since your thermo well was built:

To be honest yours was a brain gas that went south. (Not a very good ideal)

The new production run calls for a flare on the top end not the bloody silver solder washer. You can bring it the next time your in the hood and I will change it.

Note: There comes a time in the history of all projects when becomes necessary to shoot the engineer's and Start Production.

Actually Marty that broke off. No biggie tho because the swaglock keeps it in place. Not a issue. These work like a charm. Might need to build another one and have triplets.

On my keg system, I found that if I take a pair of flush cut electronic dykes and cut off one of the centering ribs, that I can get full compression on a fermenter keg with a good seal.

Also, Clamps if needed:

Swags clamps appear a lot nicer. Swag has nice products!
Have Fun!

Yes Chris,
You have to trim the rib on one side of the seal to flush it against the keg lip in order for it to seal properly. No biggies, takes about a minute to do so.
