The melting stick
List of parts
Cartridge heater 15 mm 300W (available in various wattages)
2 x 15 mm straight joiner-compression
Short length of 15 mm copper pipe
Speedfit type insert
2 ft of plastic 15 mm pipe
Cable and plug
2 connectors and insulating tape
A piece of metal slightly longer than the heater with the end bent over
How to assemble
Firstly solder the piece of steel to one of the flat surfaces of a compression nut,this needs to end up at the bottom and is a stand off to keep the heater away from the container walls,tighten the heater into a straight connector using the nut with the stand off then attach the copper pipe,this needs to be short enough that the heater wires protrude. Attach the other connector to the other end of the copper pipe. Put an insert into one end of the plastic pipe and feed the cable down the pipe,connect and insulate the heater to the cable then join the plastic pipe to the connector.
