I received my penrose kettle today that I ordered custom to have a 1" half coupler on the side so I could use it as an electric boil kettle. Well, when I tried screwing in the element, the threads wouldn't even begin to screw in. I'm worried that they may have welded the coupler on backwards? Does anyone know if this is this possible? Can they only be welded on one direction? Or is it possibly the wrong size or something. Here's a pick of the end of the coupler to see what I'm talking about.
Its hard to see, but there is a smooth, even lip around the outer most part of the fitting. The threads don't appear to start until you get beyond that smooth surface.
