I have two 30qt pots that I dropped off at the welder a couple days ago. I got a call today telling me that they're to thin to weld in couplers(he tried one and it slipped/leaked?) so I'm not sure what to do.The holes are just a hare bigger than an inch to fit the 1/2" coupler, so do I just create a larger diameter "bulkhead" fitting and reduce it back to 1/2"for the ball valves/fittings? Suggestions for parts-types of o-rings would be appreciated. The pots were only $50 a piece but wasn't exactly looking to head to the scrapyard with them. Lesson learned: show your welder your equipment before drilling holes for couplings. Thanks.
