PM him. User name "Pickles"

HBT user Pickles is selling a heavy-duty bulkhead kit for $12 (he found a bunch of surplus ones- pretty much the same thing McMaster charges $90 for)- I've bought a few, and so have a bunch of other users. Your hole diameter should work just fine.

Never mind HERMS- he was just being thorough in his answer. For what we're talking about, here's the basic process: You want to attach a ball valve to your 15 gallon kettle/keggle/metal vessel. -order yourself a bulkhead from Pickles (PM him on HBT). He will include for $12 (plus small...

HBT user Pickles is selling these surplus bulkheads. I bought a couple, and they are on par with the high-end fittings McMaster Carr sells. Worked great, w/ no leaks. He is charging $12 each, and has a lot of good feedback on them. I just sent him a message today to see if he has more left-...

Hey Pickles- how many of these do you have left? I might be interested in a couple more, and I have a buddy who might want a few. I can pick up locally again for all of them. Thanks!!!

Pickles- I installed and tested the bulkheads this weekend. Perfect seal, and they worked out great. Highly recommend- thanks again!:mug:

I'd be interested in a bunch of these, but would like to avoid shipping. Can I pick up locally in Columbus? Thanks for the hook-up! :rockin:

That's a pretty good deal for the whole set-up. Do you have any left?
