OK what fittings and odd bits does one need to connect copper tubing to a paint tin lid for a low (mainly) b.p solvent recylcer (distillation rig)?
this is my understanding of it:
-I need a piece of Cu tubing
-I need a hollow magicians hat shaped thing to sit on the lid and to fit around the tubing.
-I need a rubber fitting(s) of some sort to make the seal.
Should a rubber washer sit underneath the magicians hat?
I probably need to solder the copper joints too, right?
I;'ve read the professional still pdf at rhodiums, it rules, but what I want is a disposable quickie, and I figure if I have the solution to the tubing to the paint lid part...and the quickest solution to vapour-tight copper joints, then this can bee accomplished easily.
It's just I have a problem with discarding and I think wasting dirty acetone, MEK, ethyl acetate when it requires such low joules to vapourise.
A quick explanation of the names of different fitting types and uses would bee really appreciated, I'm young and dumb. A link would bee just as good.
Thanks!
