Gary,
They sell (outside the city limits, anyway) a heat-resistand spray paint for
touching up gas grilles and the like. As I recall Krylon made one. Home
Depot ought to have something.
As for Swagelok, and related stuff, there's always a load of it (84 listings
right now) on Ebay. Try the keyword Swagelok, or get to the "Other
Industries/Process Equipment" category. You'll get it for alot less than you
were paying at Moving Brews, I bet. There's pumps, heat exchangers,
Tri-Clover, whatever you might need, too.
Happy hunting.

Hi,
I'm going to be completing my brewery stand today. I
need to paint it & though it really doesn't matter, I'd like
to put a flame resistant paint on the end with the boil
kettle.
It's all going to be at one level. I have two pumps, a
magnetic for moving the sweet liquor & a 1 gal/min
peristaltic to move the heated sparge water from the
boil kettle to the sparge tank & then from the sparge
tank to sparge itself. (I'll use a rheostat to control the
speed of the peristaltic)
This way I don't have to lift anything heavy & this way I
have an easy clean-up for life...
Maybe...
Anyway, any suggestions as to what kind of paint might
best be used so it won't burn off at the Boil end?
That's the only place heat will be applied. I have a S.S.
rims and will use the different pumps to move heated
water from the boil kettle to wherever I need it be it
mash tun or sparge tank.
Thanks,
Gary
