Machined Solid Teflon® (virgin PTFE) Chimney

I can now provide you a machined solid Teflon® (virgin PTFE) Chimney for your GS-35B project.

Teflon is not cheap but this is NOT a cheap chimney. This is the REAL DEAL and, without a doubt, the best material available for the chimney in your amplifier project. It has the best resistance to RF fields and high voltages. It withstands temperatures up to 500 degrees F; far above any temperature you will encounter in a properly operating amp. This Teflon® Chimney is not available from any other source. There is
no other solid Teflon® Chimney available for the GS-35B anywhere in the world.

This is exactly what you will want to use for resisting high temperatures, extremely high voltages and RF fields up to and beyond the limits of the GS-35B under ALL operating conditions and frequencies.

This Teflon Chimney® is approximately 1-1/2"H x 4"(ID) x 5"(OD) and is carefully machined to insure that it will fit the bottom of the GS-35B anode cooler. Sizes are approximate due to the availability of material. I make this chimney specifically for this socket and the GS-35B. This Teflon® Chimney can be used with other socket arrangements as long as your grid plate is recessed one inch below the chassis plate or you shim up the bottom of the Teflon® Chimney. If you need one for a different arrangement or size, please contact me for a quote.

The chimney alone weighs 15 ounces and the shipping weight is 1 lb. 5 oz.

Your special requirements in Teflon® material can be met. Please contact me for a quote.

NOTE: This chimney will work with the tube socket built by Tom Adams, WB8WJU (also supplied by Tom's Tubes). If you have mounted his socket using round head screws, you can either swap them with flat head screws or file a notch in the bottom edge of the chimney to clear the screw head.

*Teflon® is PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE)
PTFE is a fluorocarbon-based polymer. It is commonly called Teflon® which is the registered trademark of DuPont. PTFE is also manufactured by other companies. It is available with or without filler materials to meet specific needs. The PTFE used here has no fillers and is called "virgin PTFE".
