Hey all,
I used a 1 1/4 Greenlee knockout punch on my kettle (15.5 gallon keg) to make the hole for my Camco 5500W element, per many instructions on this forum. However, the hole seems too large. It measures about 1 3/4 inches across. The element passes through the hole without even touching the sides. The one-inch nut barely catches any of the sides. Is this hole now too big? If so, how so with the Greenlee 1 1/4 punch? I have the Greenlee set: 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, so I'm assuming I used the right "1 1/4" punch.
Any help?
Todd
