Weldless fittings for plastic conical?

[jamesrm]

Been thinking about buying some of these for awhile : Inductor Cone Bottom Bulk Storage Tanks - US Plastic Corporation

Would a weldless fitting work to put on the conical itself so you could draw wort/wine whatever without disturbing the sediment? If not, any other ideas on how to make it work and not leak and be sanitary?

The point of a conical is to remove the sediment without removing your beer. I have a full drain type and it had threads in the bottom of the cone. Just screw in a reducer and then a ball valve of your choice. I hosed clamped the neck after installing the reducer. After fermentation, dump the trub and keep the beer.


Or perhabs you were talking a rotating racking arm? I thought of this but decided it to be as frivolous as useless for my application.

I'm using a 1/2" weldless fitting for a rotating racking arm. I'll use a curved copper tube connected to the inside. Using 1 1/4" ball valve on the bottom to dump trub. I had a stainless B3 conical years ago, I think the racking arm is well worth it.
