Hi Brad,
I have two flat plate PE caps, one with 80 plates, one with 30 plates
and they are mounted with the plates in a
verticle configuration, I stacked my plates and then
clamped them between two pieces of 3/8" thick lexan
before placing the whole assembly into the contaier of
oil. Both of my caps are 4 years old now and are still
working fine.
