Hi,
I recently got a sanke from a local club member. I found a great welder who can provide sanitary welds at a $60/hour rate. Obviously, I would like to minimize his time. I would like to cut the top off, and step drill the holes to mount a spigot and one of BobbyM's welded sightglass kits.
I was hoping anyone who has done this can provide the lengths they find useful for the 1/2" NPT female coupler and 3/8" NPT female coupler. Can I find these at a local hardware store or should I order them online? What size of through-hole do I need (i.e. how big of a step-bit)? Also, any tips you can give me for making things easier for the welder would be great.
Cheers.
