Hi guys,
I've now cut both holes in my two kegs in preparation for my friend to tig weld the couplings in. In playing around with the fittings the thought occured to me that I may need to mark the correct rotational position of the couplings to ensure that the bulkhead and site/tube thermo attachment are pointed in the upright position once they are tightened down into the coupling. Is that right? Otherwise if the couplings are welded in whatever which way, my fittings will be tight but be in a sideways position. And what would I do then if I cannot further tighten it? Loosen it then but that may cause it to then leak because it's not tight enough. I hope this question makes sense.
Has anyone ever encountered this? Is this something I should indeed consider when getting these couplings welded in?
Thanks
