I got a lid from norm for it but just realised there are no connections lol. The bits the Disconnects lock onto and the outlet ...

Re: Easy pipe connecting and disconnecting

Hmmm. I just use 15mm plastic push fit connectors. I find these real easy and in comparison cheap to use.

In fact most my brewery redesign uses these.

Push on over 15mm pipe. Plastic or copper. And tighten the end hand tight. Job done

Sort of like John guest fittings.

Cut the hole for the PID and at the bottom the holes for the power in and out. http://www.blacklabale.co.uk/pics/pid/box.jpg Inside I's a metal plate I'll put the heatsink on. http://www.b...
