These work great with a sump pump in a bucket, I clean and sanitize my carboys, conical, and kegs with it. I use about 3-4 gallons with 3oz of PBW and can clean 4 carboys, 4 corny kegs, a 15 gallon keg and 15 gallon conical. I can probably clean more to but thats about all i have. I was using a CIP ball I got from brewershardware, but it would not fit in the neck of my 6.5 gallon carboys. the nozzle from Mcmaster It did not fit in my 6 gallon carboy and I have not tried it with my 5 gallon carboys.

I love the setup, one of my most used pieces of equipment next to my rig and my pint glass.

So, bsquared - that item has a thread that's described as "1/2" BSPP Female", which sounds suspiciously unlike "NPT" or "FPT" or anything I'm familiar with. What kind of thread was on the stock you mated with it? Do you have any issues with threading or sealing/leaks?
 
I responded to phlipmeese's PM , but I figure I better post this to incase people searching the forum come across this, BSPP is similar to 1/2 NPT, I have mine attached to a 1/2" NPT nipple, works great for cleaning kegs and carboys. Be sure to pick up some CIP lube to lube up the nozzle after use.
