I will as soon as I have something made to show. A pic of a 25 inch piece of 2 inch copper tube isn't much to look at, I'm sure you'll agree? ::)

You have a point there,- I have a spare 52" piece of 54mm Cu pipe, so it must be twice as sexy as yours ;D

But do show us what you build, it sounds interesting.

On the other hand, it has been known for me to dribble a little when looking at a length of copper pipe. Image

So, my planned design is as follows....
From the 54mm tube, a 54mm to 35mm reducing coupler, then a 35mm slow 90 into a 90 street fitting, reducing down to 15mm for the liebig. The outer diamter of the liebig seems very small at 22m, but seems to be the accepted norm. I can't help feeling that a 28mm outer would work better, but what do I know?
As to the length of the liebig, I havn't got that far yet!! 8)

I know I asked for a photo.... :D :D you've out done yourself there dude.. ;)

That fitting looks the dogs doo-dars...well done. column looks ok, if you what to use a bigger outer on the liebig go for it....it'll only mean you'll need less water passing through for it to do the job.
