Real tubes handle 50+ KW.

And you'd *damn* sure better handle *them*
with white cloth gloves... or clean them in
solvent before installation!


No need, unless you don't like fingerprints on the stainless steel
body, but you absolutely have to make sure that there is enough water
flow to keep them from melting down. One system i worked with had
three 65 kW tubes, for a 195 kW output.
