Important lesson learnt

[Beerbuddha]

I discovered this after I welded them onto my keg !

Just arrived today and tried it out when I got home. They're a perfect fit but you'll need to box clever with the shroud as there's no thread left. Thinking a dab of superglue on the connecting lead will do it.

Even passed the wet test first time!

When connecting make sure they are fully located to prevent short, also street lights will dim and guards will be sniffing through your letterbox to make sure you ain't growing something you shouldn't be

Did you mean earthed rather than located? If so how?

As I thought the ss nut consumed all of the thread on the element. Did you have to put anything between the nut & the outside of the kettle?

Yeah it's a very big locknut. Nothing between them except ptfe tape to seal the threads. There's a silicon washer on the inside.

Ah the magic of ptfe tape Will invest in them eventually but watching the price of sterling like a hawk. Its dropped 10p in nearly a month. If the current instability with the Brexit keeps going in a months time it will be near parity.

The PTFE tape would insulate the locknut from earthing the kettle surly. 

[molc]

I was thinking about that, but you do cut through it  when threading the nut. The PTFE fills the cracks more than anything I find.

Regardless, the keg has a primary element which has a very solid metal to metal connection running to earth, so it is always grounded when running.

I earthed my keggle using banana plugs and sockets, I looped an earth connection from each of the kettle connectors to the Banana plugs. This works for keggles as you can connect the banana socket through the skirt

In that post it looks like your splicing an earth connection off the earth from the wiring from the wiring of the element. Not sure how that would work where one is using a pee covered connector without having to cut through the preformed cabling to tap the earth.

a pee covered connector

I think we found the source of the infection in that batch before Christmas

[Motorbikeman]

Apparently pee is sterile. 

Good to go

From memory they may be pre assembled but the connector can be opened by removing a screw in the front face of the connector. It may be a security/anti tamper screw which needs a special screw driver though.
