I just installed a ball valve on my BK. It is the ss 2-piece from bargainfittings.com. The info on their sight says that a heat shield is necessary for the sight glass (which I don't have at this time) but then seems to indicate that you also need to use a heat shield under the valve.
I am using a Blichmann burner with a 10 gallon pot. Do I need to use a heat shield? How do I attach the heat shield or keep it in place under the valve? Also, is there a preferred material? I suppose a nice piece of ss would be great if I had one.
thanks.
