Hi Larry,

Thanks.    All of the pipe is EMT,   and all fittings are cast Zinc.   You might be referring to the short radius 90 fitting,   it IS cast Zin,   but it is difficult to see in that pic   â€¦   like this one:

The KID is a great performer !

73,  Thanks,   Vic
oh yeah I see now - looked like one of those pvc ones at first glance !

Wow nice setup. I will try replicate that, though not sure if I have space for that box especially if I keep the location close to batteries.
I have another question, I'm also looking at lithium batteries to power future 48v electric motor and I pretty much gave up on that due to pricing and decided to go with 6v golf cart batteries in series of 8 batteries and if weight is not an issue maybe get another bank just in case. In the meantime I found some 48v lithium batteries on ebay. Hope I don't get in trouble posting this link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/48V-100Ah-Lithium-Ion-Go-Battery-LFP-Lithium-Iron-Phosphate-for-Solar-EV-and/233510812043?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144   for $2250 I thought that was a good deal, still about double the price of the golf cart batteries but less expensive than buying 12v 100ah lithium batteries for series connection. With weight and size difference I can fit 2 banks of those easy inside the engine compartment itself after I take the diesel out.
Have anyone used these ebay batteries? Any pros or cons? or should I just forget for now and save some money and do golf cart which hopefully last a few years which at that point I'm hoping pricing on lithium goes down.
