Using a 3/4" TC x 1/2" Male NPT from Still Dragon , I now have a TC port for my SS Brew Bucket. I reuse the o-rings, nut and racking arm from the SS Brewtech valve that came with the bucket. The racking arm was slightly too large to fit into the inner part of the TC piece, so I used a piece of 1/2" silicon tubing stuffed with some 3/8" tubing to fit the racking arm. The racking arm can still be rotated just like when using the ss brew tech valve.
3/4" TC x 1/2" male NPT = $14
3/4" TC Clamp = $6.55
3/4" TC gasket = $1.25
3/4" TC ball valve = $32
One immediate downside is you cannot have the bucket on the floor, it needs to be on a shelf, counter a maybe a stool because of the increased length of the port and ball valve.

I use 3/4" TC parts for sections of my AleForce1 Brewstation, so for me the real cost was only $14 for the port piece.
