So, after some of you suggested the dangers of non food grade materials used in brewing I decided to make myself a new copper filtration system and ditch the pvc electrical conduit. So, got 2m of 15mm copper, some soldering fittings and a new brass threaded bar (instead of the plastic one).

After some measuring, cutting and fitting, I got this:

Then grinded grooves in there for drainage.

Close up. I still need to pay some attention to the burrs. Then looking foreward to using it the weekend.

With hindsight I should have cut the grooves first, then reamed the inside to rid the burrs, then soldered the elbows.. I could still take it appart I suppose, heat the elbows and take them appart, then clean up the insides and solder back.
