20 Gallon Kettle with welded couplers

Been searching for a while and haven't been able to find a 20 gallon kettle with welded couplers, only weldless. Polarware doesn't make anything larger than a 15 gallon, morebeer has only 15 and 26 gallon, even the blichmann is weldless.

Anyway, just curious if anyone knows of another option! Thanks in advance for your help.

welds are usually bad so i think most companies avoid using them

That must be it...

i should have clarified that welds are usually bad for sanitation reasons. why are you looking for welded ones?

I have just had not great luck with my weldless fittings, it seems like I was continually fixing leaks in the middle of a brew or tightening fitttings. In contrast my welded fittings are problem free 100% of the time.

If that is the case then you have an install problem. I have used the same weldless fittings for over a year without a need to touch any of them.

That is absolutely a possibility, and it may be that the o-rings were just worn out. But I checked them numerous times for correct install and they were done according to directions (as well as all of the other kits I've seen).

You could probly find a welder locally and have them weld your existing stuff cheaper than buying new equipment

To the original question, what about a kettle from Stout?

VERY cool. I actually emailed him, but it appears the kettles won't be in till April. That would be the perfect solution otherwise.

Do you pull the couplings/fittings through the kettle wall? Your fittings look good. Your prices look fair too.

Thank you!
Yes we pull the fittings through the wall. A process called swaging.
