Element Guards

Received my StillDragon element guards the other day.  These will house the electrical connections for the heating elements and protect people from touching the business end of the elements.


 The guard will be attached to the kettle using a tri-clamp to a 2in ferrule welded to the kettle.  You can see the ferrule in the upper right corner of the above picture.  The main element housing is in the upper left.  The element will be screwed into the housing and will protrude into the kettle to heat the liquids.
 

Above is a picture of the assembled housing.  The element wire will come through the hole on the left where a strain relief will hold it in place.  The screw you see on the face will be for a grounding lug attached on the inside.  More pictures will follow when I get it all assembled.  I do not yet have the kettles.
