Easy way to put fittings on kegs ?

brewman ! · 11-28-2006, 05:10 AM

Anyone know of an easy way to put an inlet or outlet port on the side of SS keg, without tig welding it in place ?

I know about bulkhead fittings, but I haven't found any that are the right size/price/material.

Has anyone made something up that works ?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Since you're looking at keg fittings, I'll assume you're not all that new to brewing.

www.northernbrewer.com has some weldless fittings that might work for you. They're really nothing more than bulkhead fittings, but they do work. Welding is an option if there's a small shop in your area. Offer them a few bucks and some homebrew, you may be amazed at what they can make for you!

Thanks for the welcome Yuri. Yeah, I'm experienced. I'm coming back to brewing. The last time I brewed was 5 years ago.

Thanks for the link. Does anyone have any experience with those fittings ?
