ok . heres an update . hes forming the 4x8 pan as i write this. .. a brake press that can handle up to 1/2" stainless ?!?! now thats angry !
good thing my pans only 14 gauge .
anyways , heres the blueprints i sent him .
i want matching 1/2 threaded holes and a 1/4 NPT for a thermometer 3" away from the draw off holes.
also, i asked for the same holes on the opposite corner of the pan so then i can grab the preheater pan , flip it around and put it on the other side of the big pan and reverse the flow . badabing !
i think the BEST cutout would be 2" away from where the divider is welded on the side wall , and be 3"x3" square . that way he can weld the ENTIRE end of the divider onto the sidewall . those TRIANGLES on the dividers pictured wont be very strong since theres only a little weld on the top holding it up .
i have so many requests im probably driving the welder nuts. heh .
