So I've posted here before about my keggle welds not being quite right. The couples don't go all the way through and have no threads on the inside and had to run a tap from the inside to make threads. No dice. They still leak and I can't get a good syphon. I don't really have a diagram so I will hopefully describe it and my potential solution that if it works, will hopefully help others if they have the same problem. Here are the connections.
SS valve 1/2 male NPT to:
SS coupler 1/2 female to:
keg
My solution for a dip tube.
Add a piece of copper reducer in between the valve and the coupler. It will be 1/2 female to connect to the valve and the other end will be 1/2 male NPT and will either have inside threads or I will solder in 5/8 OD inside the 1/2 male so that it can thread to the coupler but have a solid dip tube. The dip tube will have another male connection at the end for a compression fitting to 90 deg elbow for dip. What do you all think? I think. :rockin:
