Hello,
I'm getting ready to install a bulkhead and valve in my aluminum kettle, but I have a couple questions.
First, I have a Kewler Kitz bulkhead, obviously made for a cooler. The bulkheads for kettles look remarkably similar, but I'm wondering if there are any differences I should be aware of to correct as I install.
Second, anyone know what size hole I would need to mount said bulkhead?
And last, my greatest concern is leaking. While installed on my cooler the bulkhead usually leaked a little. I'd prefer it not do this. I know you're not supposed to tighten too much else you wreck the o-rings, but is a leak-proof weldless possible?
Thanks in advance!
