Replacement element

Post by bottles » Tue Jul 16, 2024 2:56 pm

Hi all. My brew kettle needs a new element. Unfortunately all of the suppliers I find are sold out. Any suggestions of where to get repayment 2.4kw kettle element? Or what other options are there?
The brew kettle is 50 lithe and approx 400mm in diameter. Have seen elements that are secured with triclamps. But they don't always show fittings, or look like they need a flat face to attach to?
Here's the element I've used before. These seem to have been out of stock for 18 months

I did like the look of ulw 3kw element. But it needs a smaller hole! 32mm as apposed to the current 40mm hole?

Getting elements seemed easy a couple of years ago? What's changed?

Thanks,
Did see the homebrew company earlier. When i tried adding power cables to there cart i had a warning pop up about the site notbeing active or out of date? But will have another closer look.

The home brew shop have the not so encouraging text in there description.
"Power Cable not included The brazing on these elements is not very good, they all work as they should just looks a mess, We have contacted the manufacturer who ensures us there is nothing wrong with the elements"
