It says optional water cooler, does it come with it, or do i have to find it? How how thick of metal can i weld with this?

You would have to purchase a separate chiller unit, as well as a water cooled torch. You can weld metal as thick as you wish, or have patience for.

I'm not entirely sure. If you plan on getting a kettle like this, spend the extra money and get a wort chiller. It saves time, it's a ton safer and not that expensive. Seriously a trying to move and cool 5 gallons of liquid would not be the smartest thing to do. Not to mention the amount of ice needed to cool it efficiently. NY Brew Supply has some for 60 bucks. Also as i responded to another person, when i got this kettle it leaked through the side, like, not the holes for the therm and valve, but through the actual metal. I got a similar kettle from Morebeer for like 30 bucks extra and it is very good. Check them out. I'm not entirely sure.

I bought this bulkhead. You will need a longer threaded nipple or extension to use for a cooler

You don't need the cooler, Just have to weld shorter duration's. If doing long duration's, Then wise to have. Torch will get hot.

That was a little tricky. I think they should include a bottle with the unit. We bought a 5 gallon water jug--I think you could use a 3 gallon too.. Ours was filled with water. It was meant to be returned & refilled. It's just a regular water cooler bottle.You might be able to buy an empty one at the hardware store.

Per my husband who I purchased the welder for, all welders can accept a water cooled torch as long as you have or make the proper adaptor to attach your torch to the welder. He cannot remember off hand right now but he thinks it is a standard Miller attachment.

Yes it comes with no door or use the old one is what I did! U can use the old wiring or you'll have to re-wire if you want to use the switch that comes with it! I'm using it as we speak and I'm using the gas and electric at the same time and I can tell you that water it hot as can be!!! I will give you a warning though. It came with plastic couplers 1/2" and they both broke! Go to Home Depot and get two brass ones before installing! 1/2" pipe thread $2.89 each!

No, it does not. Previous replies have stated it will compromise the effectiveness of the safe (water damage). Know a welder?

5 gall but when ours was delivered it didn't contain the collar that the water jug fits into. Luckily we had one from our prior cooler but it doesn't fit perfectly. I did a bunch of research to see if I could purchase just the collar and the answer was no. I even called the manufacturer. They do not sell part separately. Amazon ended up deducting half of the purchase price because of this issue.

None comes with it. But aluminum doesn't rust. Still, I'd throw a tarp over it if I were storing it outside. There could be smaller components made of steel or whatever that would suffer from moisture long term.

Yes it does. The metal is real weak at the weld points.... ours broke after like 2 months; It worked great until it broke. I had to have it re-welded.

Are you asking about the trans cooler? Yes, it does but it is not big so i would recommend an external one if you do much towing.

The cooler comes with a fan and a pigtail for the built in temperature switch, which on mine did not work. There are no isolation mounts for the eyelets that mount it to whatever you're mounting it to either. Basically, you get a cooler with a fan mounted to it and some wiring to tie it together. There are minimal instructions mostly relating to the wiring. Hope this helps.

I am not a pro. I think that 1/8" thick metal, is you probably can weld that thickness metal with the machine at the 100%the duty cycle. 3/32" rod is the maximum rod size I would use. You can weld 1/4" metal in a pinch, with multiple passes, let you welder cool down, so you don't burn out the welder. Good luck

There is a threaded rod in the middle on the bottom that you can use to secure it to your frame. If your frame does not have a mounting point you can buy a piece of flat steel at your local big box home improvement store or hardware store and use a vice and/or some homebrewer ingenuity to bend a mount to bolt on to whatever your using for a frame. I bought two for my keggle HERMS system and they don't put out enough heat to get water to strike/boil temperatures for my taste.

Hi Michael, Get this cooler! It's fantastic! It only comes with 1 fan. You can buy an optional 120mm fan on the opposite side. With my 8350 idle temps are 34c. If i rip or if the processor is getting used my temps get to around 65c. That's excellent!!! The sound isn't even loud at all. It sounds like a stock fan in a store bought PC. To answer your questions. Get this fan and heat sink if you don't want water cooling. The performance is fantastic!!! No worries at all!!!

H-80 - H-110 should do the trick unless you want to make a custom water cooler yourself. Hope this helps
