I really want to install a ball valve on my HLT/brew kettle. I was wondering if anyone would recommend hardware they have used for a weldless ball valve kit.

I need a stainless (at least all stainless where it touches the beer) ball valve. Any additional hardware to set it up. I already have the step drill bit, just need the hardware, hopefully on the cheap.

Thanks!
 
I will second the Bargainfittings suggestion. All my weldless fittings are from there. They have awesome shipping too, you'll have your stuff in less than a week, often times in just a couple of days.
 
Nice just bought one - the three piece SS set up with the soldered stainless washer ($40).

Not bad at all!

Might be back for more... but for now that is all I need ;)
 
Ridiculously fast shipping. Just got it yesterday in the mail, and I ordered it on the 6th..... two days!!

Thanks gents - the hardware looks good. Time to get the drill out :)

UPDATE:

Installed!! No leaks, really nice stainless ball valve
