Bonjour,
Derek, you say that in your country, the temperature is higher, so you should have more condensation problems. I am not a specialist but I feel without any real measure that a metal lubricator exchanges better temperature with air than a glass one and colder the air is better the condensation is. Most of my lubricators are fixed, with a hole of about 0,3 - 0,4 mm, I think your choice is correct because the variable adjustment does not seem to change anything in my case. With my Microcosm lubricator, it seem that the steam does not go in it, this is why I have enlarged the diameter of the intake pipe with a small drill. If nothinh changes, I have a Stuart lubricator, I will manage to install it to see if there is a difference.For information, as you know it, Anton lubricators are only fix and metal.About measures, I think we dream...
Mark, you make the good choice, Anton is expensive but fullly reliable before ad after the purchase.
About pipes, for our models I mean, the rule I note is that the exhaust ones are commonly 1 mm larger than the inlet one (except on my Cristal plant grrrrr....).
Besides this, you have no choice because you have to respect the diameters of the Cristal machine pipes ==> I would recommend you to ask Anton which diameters he uses now. And of course, he will sell you compliant valves or other accessories with his products as soon as you accuratly tell him what you wish and where.
