Description
 

Electric Kettle Enclosure with 1.5" TC flange, gasket, clamp and Weldless TC .

This specific unit features an enclosure with a 1.5" TC (triclover) flange. It assumes you want to attach the included 1.5" TC weldless flange to your vessel. We have other kits with various accessories included elsewhere on this site.


General info for all TC (triclover) based electrical enclosures:

The matter of enclosing the electrical connection of your heating element has long been the shortcoming of many Do-It-Yourself element installs. Many solutions relied on "potting" the exposed connections with silicone or epoxy which was a bit more permanent than practical. In addition to shielding the connections, another challenge is providing an earth ground point on the metal pieces. Our design solves both of these problems in an aesthetically pleasing and functionally adequate way. We have several options depending on whether you want to weld, solder or use gaskets to install your heating elements.
What's included with all enclosure options:
  • Screw-together canister with ground screw and cord grip.
  • Electrical Connection Parts: One pair of crimp-on ring terminals to connect your cord (up to 10 gauge wire) to the element, and a single ring terminal to attach an earth ground to the canister, a couple pieces of shrink wrap tubing (shrink it over your crimp terminals with a lighter).
Note!! electric heating element is NOT included with ANY of these kits.

The cord grip included with this kit will accommodate nearly any practical cord diameter from 14/3 SJ to 10/3 SJ cords.

Use these on all my kettles. Secure connections and very clean look. Will buy again when retro'ing my friends to electric.

4 of 5 Could have gotten 5 stars March 10, 2020
Reviewer: Mark Howe from central city, IA United States  
This is a great weld less solution.  It has everything you need to install this.  It would be improved if they didn't use a gorilla to put on the ground screw and nut.  This is hard to get at and it helps when you are struggling with 10 awg wire from a dryer cable to be able to start the outer retention nut using a screwdriver.  Lighten up on the torque a little.


BrewHardware.com Response:

The screw and nut installed on the canister are NOT meant to be removed during wire installation. We include the extra locking nut in the hardware pack because the ring terminal is supposed to be place OVER the installed nut and held in place by the loose nut in the bag. We tighten the nut this tight so you don't have to do anything to hold the screw when tightening. The instructions are clear on this.

5 of 5 Great piece of gear May 14, 2018
Reviewer: Timothy Fox from The Colony, TX United States  
The hardware itself is well made and looks sharp.  Allows for easy installation of a 1.5" TC port and lets you get around the element when you want to do a deep scrub.  There's quality behind the build and it functions as intended.  My only critique is the price point seems a little high, but you're paying for a well built accessory.
