Hey guys. I know there have been a few threads on these before, but I still have a few questions before I get started.
These just came in early last week:
I'm about to pull the trigger on some 1/2" stainless ball valves for the racking port, but I'm still not quite sure how to affix them to the inside of the conical. I'm guessing some kind of nipple w/ silicon o-rings on both sides, but what would you use on the inside surface to hold things together?
I'm also not sure how to do the bottom dump. There are 1 1/2" threads in the mouth of the conicals and after looking at 1 1/2" ball valves there's no freaking way I'm spending that much. I was thinking of using a 1.5 to 1" reducing nipple (LINK), but I can only seem to find plastic. They appear to be polypropylene...would this be ok?
Any other random thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!
