2 Inch Diameter Copper Shotgun Condenser or final product condenser. Domestic copper pipe, two inch diameter with 7 of the 1/2″ copper tubes going through the center evenly spaced. Two inch tri-clamp ends to easily clamp into your distillation system.
Water connections are 1/2″ pipe female.
Does not include clamp and gasket.
If you are having trouble getting the cooling you want or need with a liebig condenser, a shotgun condenser is the way to go, especially if you live in the south and your cooling water is typically 6oF or warmer. On my 3500W unit I was having trouble getting my spirit much below 20F above my cooling water temp with a liebig, and that was running the water full blast and was very wasteful. With this unit running at 100% my distillate comes out about 1 ½F above the cooling water temp running at a trickle, or about as slow as I can practically run my cooing water without a needle valve; what a huge difference! Now I’ll be able to run my stripping runs even in the summer, when my water temps run around 85F.
Very competitively priced, especially if you can take advantage of a year end discount as I did. Also the only fully copper version I could find that was a full 24”, and with 7 inner tubes; the next closest was a little over 17” with 5 inner tubes, Mile Hi was the best value I could find!
As another reviewer said, “a work of art”; very well made, but it is heavy, as one would expect! Soak in a citric acid cleaning bath after use to keep it clean and looking shiny and new!
it is a work of art, very efficient cooling compared to a liebig condenser.
My first thoughts when I unboxed the 2 in shotgun condenser was holy smokes this things a beast. From the heft and weight of it I knew I wasn’t holding some cheap Chinese piece of junk. Looking at it I was blown away by the welds. They were perfect. On my best day I wouldn’t even come close to the quality of these welds, hats off to Mile Hi’s welder this is some serious pro level work. After getting all the extra parts to get this running, ie water connecters 90 degree elbows ect which were all easily sourced I ran this today. No leaks and ran as well as it could. I have a Mile Hi 220V Variable Single Element Temperature Controller which totally overpowered my liebig condenser, but this shotgun handled the power easily and saved me hours. Like everything at Mile Hi this is an absolutely a high quality item. So if you’re wondering about pulling the trigger on this don’t hesitate it’s awesome and you won’t regret buying it.
