Beating my head against wall. Now, I have it figured out. 2" copper pipe comes in type K, L and M. Only type M has 2inch inside diameter.
Oh well, yet another order. With smaller sizes I can walk into most places with a plumbing department and find up to 1 1/2" copper and you can see what fits what. 2 inch or larger,
beware of various fittings inside and outside diameters.
Note on places like Amazon you will see reviews on moonshine distiller's 2 inch copper ferrels. Everybody shows pics how it is too large. Well, they are exactly 2 inches diameter outside diameter, and only type L 2 inch copper tube has 2.0009 inside diameter. Still requires a bit of fitting.
Bubba screwed up thinking his 2 inch to 1/2 inch reducer would fit right up, but nooooo!
For the column setup, (the above head ache is for the pot still head) I just bought a premade one. It isn't quite as tall as what grey Wolf found necessary, but I can add 20 inch copper pipe extender from the pot still setup. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Water run, water/vinegar run, then sugar wash.

What about a 2inch to 2 inch coupling sleeve

Has driven me nuts for years. ID or OD…
Have to double check everything, I mainly use acr which is soft. I have an expander which is helpful, but won’t work on hard drawn copper unless annealed first.

That might also work if inside dimension is at least 2 inches, and if long enough to fit copper ferrel and room for triclamp to clear.
I should just buy a steady done copper pot still head, but I am going to use this big liebig tube condenser I built if it kills me.
Seems like most 2 inch copper is 2 and 1/8 outside dimension, but inside dimension varies with wall thickness. (Which varies with type L,K or M) I need 2 and 1/8" outside, and 2.0" inside diameter..

Que?
I thought my copper fittings,all being 2 inches would fit. Apparently it's trickier than that. My project requires copper pipe 2 1/8" outside diameter and 2" inside diameter.
I did not realize that copper pipe came in type L, type K and type M. All are 2 1/8 outside diameter, but inside diameter varies depending on the different wall thickness of those 3 different types.
Copper ferrel that allow joining of still parts with tri-clamps has an outside diameter of 2 inches.
So....
Bubba's sheits fuucked up

Battening down the hatches here among the oaktrees. Finally getting a winter storm with the works. Making sure the gennies are ready and wood stacked high. It's going to be a great day to get er done with temps in the 70's....

That's like asking directions. Bubba must beat head against wall for proper learning. EZ way my butte. Plus I've learned a wonderful lesson in how blood pressure goes up and down.
