Stainless Steel 1.5 Inch Tri-Clamp ends

Place heating elements (2) into the boil kettle.  Ensure the bolts on the element 
junction boxes are tight to prevent water entry into the heater as shown.  Water 
entry into the element will cause failure.

NEVER immerse the junction box or cord in liquids!

For the Boil Kettle only install the stand 
pipe in the drain fitting inside the kettle 
as shown.  To install and remove the 
standpipe, simply use a racking cane to 
lower it into the drain hole and reverse 
for removal. This will keep the bulk of the 
settled hops and break material in the 
bottom of kettle and out of the chiller.  
Use of the stand pipe, while 
recommended, is optional.    

Ventilation needs for an electric brewhouse are fairly minimal as only the boil kettle needs to be ventilated.  We recommend a traditional commercial kitchen vent 
hood be installed approximately 32 inches above the kettle.  General rules of thumb are in the table below.  It is recommended that you consult your local codes 
and consult with a professional prior to purchasing or installing your ventilation equipment.

Total power for the Boil Kettle is 12 KW.

RULES OF THUMB SUMMARY
