Needs major modification to fit rims tube |

This element, while pretty, needs major modification to fit in the RIMS tube sold on this website. Namely, it needs to be bent twice to bring the folded over portion of the element roughly 1/2" back towards center, then bent again to line up straight.
You have to do it perfectly on the first try and even if you've watched the instructions on youtube it will still probably break.
I gripped the element in a bench vice and slowly bent it using a pipe wrench and a jig I had made to mark where center was. The element snapped about halfway through the bend (it's basically just a thin tube surrounding a powder and coiled wire).
Find a pre-bent element. I wouldn't bother with this one.
Brewhardware Comment: Just for anyone reading this after March 2015, our elements are now offset which fixes the issue described by this customer.
