Hello all. Would this flange vacuum system be good enough for a fusor? Any advice for what customizations i should use on the site if it is good? Any advice if its not?

Re: Fusor Body
Why did you choose the ASA flange system?
Put some thought into what kind of vacuum flanges you want to use for your system. Consider how easy it is to get parts with matching flanges. Look for vacuum parts on ebay and determine which are more common.
You could spend a lot of money, if you buy all your vacuum parts new.
To answer your question, yes, you could make a small fusor from a 5 way cross. There are no rules, you can make a neutron producing fusor in a simple two ended nipple, you just wont be able to impress your friends with a pretty star.

Hello:
ASA is fine from a vacuum perspective, but ASA flanges tend to be huge for any given internal volume. If you want to go in this direction why not go with the ISO, or even conflat version? These have much smaller flanges on them, plus more surplus parts are available, plus they offer faster, more easy, assembly (At least for ISO).
