broken urn

[chris246810]

The water boiler at work started leaking so they've replaced it, just wondering whether i should grab any of electrical bits from inside it if they could come in useful for my biab build, any idea?

[bquiggerz]

Grab the whole thing? I would anyway, that way you don't feel rushed to grab any bits, how big is it? Could you not try repairing the leak and just use the whole thing?

[chris246810]

Yea just asked if I can take it, I'm hoping it's just a leaky tap, if so, that's my hlt sorted.
It's only a 20 litre one but that should be ideal for heating my sparge water

[bquiggerz]

Yeah, keep us informed

[chris246810]

Sweet, it's just a very slow leak around the tap, I won't mention to them that it just needs tightening up a bit. Got myself a free hlt

Hope the boss isn't into home brewing........

Nah he scraps off so much stuff that's fixable, half of my little projects at home start life in the scrap bin at work

lot of the time its cheaper for companys to replace stuff than carry out a simple repair,once you factor in the time to do the repair,the pat test,the paper trail to prove the item is still food safe etc etc

[chris246810]

Yea that's what he says, sending me on a pat test course next month so that should come in handy for a couple of my projects

If its a burco type urn, I replaced my plastic burco tape with a brass tap connector and a short length of copper tube and a ball valve, made it much easer to use. the 15mm copper is easy for me to put hoses onto for transfuring liquids around
