Using water heater electrodes.
I've seen a couple of tank conversions on the web but not seen the actual connection.
In the water heater they screw into a water heater by large diameter threads and seat against a gasket.
The fiberglass units are thicker where the connection is made and the metal ones have a ferrule welded on.
I can't guess how the connection is made on a brew pot.
If I made such a conversion I would get away from the need for flame. Just run a 240 line to the place where I plan to set up the brew station and plug in or pigtail it to a junction box.
The mechanical connection between the electrode and the tank is the part that's got me puzzled. .
Any one seen one up close?
Seems to me that one could eliminate the Brew pot entirely if one rigged the conical as a brew pot using electrical heating elements.
It would all depend on the temp rating of the seals.
