Is this bee related? What are you pumping 120 degree water around for? 120 isn't really all that hot. Sometimes the air temp around here is that much. (Yes you have to learn to survive in it) But I don't think it would be hot enough to hurt rubber or plastic parts and for sure no metal parts. Can you push the water through the heater first? That way you would be pumping cold water.

i made it . I found the pump to pump up to 145*  and it works great. I can't explain my honey system in words you'd just have to see it. I am working in a cooler enviroment than my honey needs to be to flow good. With this set up i stay cool and the honey stays hot enough to flow and all of us are happy. I guess you could call it a hot box , or i would say a hot processor. Thanks
