Brewing and Distilling Electric Element Assembly

In this video we discuss the assembly of Clawhammer's UPDATED stainless steel electric heating element parts kit for brewing kettles and distillers. The kit is compatible with Clawhammer's 5 and 10 gallon copper stills, 8 gallon stainless steel still, and their single kettle, 10.5 gallon and 20 gallon brew in a bag (BIAB) homebrew systems.

However, the element kit utilizes a standard 1.5 inch ferrule connection so it is compatible with any equipment that has a 1.5 in ferrule port.

To assemble, first screw the element into the threaded ferrule adapter with the ferrule facing away from the screw terminals, as shown in the thumbnail of this video. Next remove the black nut from the cord grip and slide the through cord grip and then the threaded cap then the tubular element housing adapter. Secure the black and white wires to the screw terminals using wire connectors. It does not matter which posts you use for positive and negative wires. Next screw the tubular element housing to the ferrule to npt adapter. After that attach the ground wire using the nut, bolt washers.

Next, fill kettle with water and install element in kettle using silicone gasket and tri-clamp (but do not plug in element). Make sure element /adapter connection does not leak.



Only after you have determined that there are no leaks, proceed with screwing the end cap on, and screw the cord grip in to the end cap and then tightening the cord grip.
