BogMonster Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We've got a water distiller at work made by a company called Manesty Machines Ltd which now appears to no longer exist or at least not to make stills any more. I need to source some new elements for this - they are a consumable item and go pop semi regularly - hardly surprising as they are sitting in boiling water during their working life and it is basically a glorified kettle element. I have found one supplier on tinterweb but they are F expensive (wrong side of 60 quid each and I need to order half a dozen) however I figure they are probably a generic item and may be available elsewhere at a better price - so wondered if anybody on here had any ideas please? They are 1.5KW elements with a 3 pin kettle type connector on them, and fit into a 40mm hole in the still with sealing washers inside and out and with a 3 pin kettle connector on the back. Land Rover relevance - well it makes distilled water for Land Rover batteries of course Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_d Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If you have found a supplier have you also got a part number. You can then Google the number....have had good results with some really random things. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksmelly Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It's likely to be 1" 9/16th if its the traditional 10A round 3 pin kettle element type thingy bob. Backer Elements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure if they are the same as a kettle element or a special heavy duty design inside because of the continuous use they are under. Steve yes I had a part number and Google showed up the one possible supplier for £62 each and one site in Iran which was mostly written in Al Qaeda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
