Hi there,
I recently bought a cheap 70 liter pot online here in japan cheaply but the guy had drilled a way too big hole for the ball valve.
The hole is 1.5" in diameter and he tried to patch it up with the pieces shown in the photo.
The two pieces on the left were on the outside of the pot and the three pieces on the right of the photo were on the inside. I threw away the ball valve as it was rusted and in poor condition.
It's difficult to get a good seal with these pieces and the rubber stinks of gasoline so I'm hesitant to use it on the inside of the brew pot.
Are there any simple solutions to adding a 1/2" ball valve?
I haven't been able to locate a silicone gasket big enough to cover the hole and not sure if that's the best solution anyway .
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers guys
Jamie
