Important Notes: The boiler lid is designed primarily for small to medium-sized distilling setups that do not have heavy, off-centre attachments. The lid is reasonably flexible and is sturdy enough to fit components that are within the following specifications:

  • A total column & condenser height up to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the lid.
  • A total column & condenser weight up to 11 kg (24 lbs), including up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of off-centre weight from a swan neck, lyne arm, or condenser running in parallel with the column and offset up to 160 mm (6”) to the main column.

We recommend external support if:

  • Your column & condenser exceeds the above specifications.
  • The lyne arm is not vertical but angled or perpendicular running away from the column, resulting in significantly distant off-centre weight.
  • If the column & condenser is noticeably leaning.
