4" Reflux Column, 190 Proof, Moonshine, Copper Whiskey Still Column, with book

$ 1,549.28

This 4" Copper Reflux Still Column comes with a dephlegmator (used to control proof) Liebig condenser and a commercial grade thermometer with a 3" face. The condenser and dephlegmator are detachable. This column is a capable of distilling 130 to 190 proof. You can make Fuel Ethanol with this column in one run.

All of our copper heads and columns are TIG welded using food grade DHP copper welding rod. This means that the welds are as strong, or stronger, than the surrounding metal. This DHP copper rod melts at around 1,700° F, while the solder that our competitors use melts at around 400°F. Solder joints are not nearly as strong as our welds, plus solder is messy, runs and gets all over the metal, while our welds are tight, clean and pretty.

The still boiler is not included in this listing, this is for the column only.

This column is best for 26 gallon to 55 gallon stills.

Features:

Commercial grade thermometer with a 3" face.
4" Tri clamp stainless ferrule connection welded to the base of the column for connecting to a still.
4" Tri clamp with gasket for connecting the column to a still.

DETERMINING TRI CLAMP SIZE

Tri Clamp sizes are determined by the outer diameter of the pipe or tubing, not the outer diameter of the flange or Tri Clamp itself. The flange of a Tri Clamp fitting typically has about a ½” inch greater diameter than the outside diameter of the pipe. This can become especially confusing when the Tri Clamp fitting has no pipe attached to it, as is the case with adapters, For instance, a 1.5" Tri Clamp to 1/2" hose barb adapter is not 1.5" inches in any dimension, but the Tri Clamp end will fit any other 1.5" Tri Clamp fitting.

If you have any doubts about what size Tri Clamp fittings your project needs, simply measure the outside diameter of the flange (dimension "B" below) and consult the chart below, or feel free to contact us .

Pipe Outer Diameter A	Flange Outer Diameter B	Pipe Inner Diameter C
1"	1.98"	.87"
1.5"	1.98"	1.37"
2"	2.52"	1.87"
2.5"	3.05"	2.37"
3"	3.58"	2.87"
4"	4.68"	3.83"
6"	6.57"	5.78"
8"	8.57"	7.78"
10"	10.57"	9.69"
