Good point, @Myles
I didn't think of the end plate thickness much, though soft annealed copper into harder stainless might not take much to seal it at our much lower pressure. I'm guessing 1.5-2mm would work, but even doubling to 3mm and starting with a good fit it should work just fine.
My city water pressure is on the high end at about 75psi. I really doubt the pressure in the vapor side would be any concern unless something was clogged downstream, which would be a different discussion and issue.
@CothermanDistilling, thanks for that first video, that's the same tool my uncle uses. I asked him about them, thinking it'd be handy for distilling and he has a huge drawer of them in different sizes. A single one was over $100 when I looked to buy one. He hand beaded every tube on both sides in 2 steps.
A 3 in 1 tool for 1/2" would be awesome.
a TC end cap has about the right thickness... and that flaring stand in the beginning is just a floor wine/champagne corker modified with a slide hammer
