Price: $30.00
Pros: Affordable DIY solution.
Cons: None
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I use this same set-up on all my kettles, MLT, and soon on a trash can fermenter. No issues at all. LHBS probably loves the fact that I've bought over $100 of valves from him.

Price: $19.00
Pros: Quality stuff!
Cons: Was looking for diamond encrusted solid gold, but they were out.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Ordered a weldless fitting and a sightglass on july 2nd. Even with the fourth of July holiday I had them in my hands by the 6th. Game on!

Price: $32.00
Pros: Drilled my hole in my kettle with a proper tapering bit (cone bit). If you use a regular bit, you will get a leak which takes some fixing but it still works. Because I used the proper bit, there was no leak what-so-ever after simply screwing on. My LHBS sells the same part for $79.95. Hold up to heat from long full boils no problem, quality gaskets in there.
Cons: Not much really, if I were to design one myself....I would make the inside receiver piece a hexagon shape on the outside for easy tightening. Any set of pliers and a tight grip does just fine though.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Excellent quality fitting at a price less than half of my LHBS, gotta love it. If you buy this for a brew kettle, don't try and use a regular straight shaft drill bit. A cone bit works best for curved surfaces, and check frequently to see if you have hit the right diameter as you are drilling.

Price: $20.00
Pros: - Great way to get a ball valve on your kettle without knowing how to weld
Cons: - If installation isn't very well done, you'll have a small leak.
Recommended? No

Comments: Great Ball-Valve and great value. I would highly recommend it. Be careful in your installation or this sucker will leak a bit. Be sure not to over tighten or you'll pop your o-ring.

Price: $20.00
Pros: Best weldless fitting you can get. Has a machined locknut that keeps the washer from "squishing" out, which is a problem I've had with other fittings. Great price, solid product!
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: If you are going to use a weldless fitting, this is the only one to buy. I've got one each from AHS and MoreBeer, and both of those started leaking after a few months or use. This unit comes with a machined nut that keeps the silicone o-ring in place and doing it's job sealing your vessel.

Price: $20.00
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Added to 15 gallon aluminum kettle. Drilled hole and stuck this in. Took a touch of finessing to stop a small leak at first, but now it is just fine.

Pros: stainless throughout, full port, complete
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I actually bought the version for a cooler but later discovered that my cooler is single wall around the valve, but a bit of rearranging and the valve works great, no leaks, so much better than the tiny valve I had adapted. Just take a good look at what you're working with to select the right parts. I also bought a couple of ball valves, fittings and nipples to do some weld-ons for my kettles. Quality parts, good prices and quick shipping, in fact I emailed the same day to add something, he had already shipped the package.

Recommended? Yes

Comments: This is my own product and such it has worked out fine. Installed in all of my pots and kegs and set up in multiple systems for my brew club members.
