T bolt / J Bolt Grrrrrr

Post by floydmeddler » Wed Nov 15, 2017 10:20 pm

Hi all,

I'm on a mission to build a single vessel brewery with RIMS etc and am just ordering in the last bits. I need 3 T bolts like this in stainless steel. They will be attached to the inner pot on the outside and will slot into ring bolts that will be attached to the outer pot on the inside.

This one is galvanised so no good for contact with wort apparently. Views differ on this topic. Anyone here have views on using anything zinc plated? I'm tempted no to give a s*it as I can't find stainless or brass anywhere. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Thanks folks!!!!!!!

Why not get a bit of SS threaded rod and bend it?

Cheers aamcle. Nice idea on bending the rod.

That solar panel T bolt looks good too. Doesn't state if it's stainless, though... DO you reckon it is?

Thanks again!
