Week 3 (January 31st-February 6th)

Copper pipe and fittings were purchased and cut to size. Soldering could not be completed due to lack of sufficient material. This will be completed in the week to come.

It was determined that 1" copper pipe was needed to fit the heating element. The element will screw into a threaded female fitting, which will then fit into a "T" fitting. This "T" fitting will also be the water inlet location. At the other end of the fitting, and 1" to 1/2" bushing will be used to downsize the pipe. An exploded view of this setup can be seen in image 3 below.
