In Need of Some Help
Hi all,
I have an Iarp fridge in which I try and keep maggots (fishing tackle shop). Trouble is, the ammonia the maggots give off rot out the pipe work. I have tried alloy and copper pipes and they all last about 6 months, its becoming a bit exspensive. Is there any stainless pipework for fridges on the market, if so will it withstand the power of my wriggly friends.
You might have guessed i know nothing about refridgeration, just a desperate man in need of the experts advice.

Hey my man, thanks for the reply. I thought the custom made stainless would be the job, we have tried the dip to no avail. Where or who could make the stainless pipe work? Cant find anyone local.

Re: In Need of Some Help
STuart, just a thought but do you have any stainless steel fabricators near you that do work for the boating or brewing trade?
If given the correct info, sizes etc a good fabricator should be able to knock one up for you.
Remember to get a fixed price quotation first though.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: In Need of Some Help
Brian, how do we get over the fins on the pipe work as a fabricator would not be able to incorperate these surely? Would it be correct to say that a piece of copper plate behind the pipes would do the same job as the fins?
