Still Heater*- 1500W Stainless Steel Cartridge Heater

The Still Heater^TM is specially made for use in distillers or moonshine stills. The cartridge style has 50% more surface area than standard tubular elements, reducing watt density and lowering the risk of scorching. Highly corrosion resistant, Brewhaus Still Heaters^TM also come with a Teflon gasket for a tight seal. You will still need to use a bit of TEFLON tape on the thread because stainless on stainless can seize.

The 1″ NPT fitting fits the standard coupling type added to most moonshine still kettles. Most water heater elements use a NPS fitting, which does not fit securely into a NPT coupling.

If you don’t have a coupling installed in your kettle, you can drill a hole in the side of your kettle with a 1.25″ drill bit and add the Stainless Steel Nut & Gasket add-on (above). Insert the Still Heater^TM into the hole and screw it into the nut on the inside. Once firmly screwed in, the gaskets will create a seal around the kettle, and you’re ready to go. No welding required.

Recommendations:

• Always place your kettle on a heat tolerant surface when heating.
• A 2″ distillation column requires one Still Heater^TM regardless of whether you are using an 8-gallon or 15-gallon kettle.
• A 3″ column with an 8 gallon kettle requires one Still Heater^TM. A 3″ column with a 15 gallon kettle may require 2 Still Heaters^TM to bring it to a boil and then cut to one Still Heater^TM during distillation.
• A 4″ column with a 15-gallon kettle may require 2 or 3 Still Heaters^TM, depending on additional factors.
