Anyone fitted a brewferm tap to a Wilko FV?

I'd like to do it to make a bottling bucket but my internet skills are failing to return instructions on how to go about it.

I ended up using a 25mm flat wood drill bit. Created a hole snug enough for the thread of the tap to screw into. I put the washer on the inside, but it leaked a bit so thinking it should go on the outside. Will try that next time.

Found the Brewferm bottling wand a bit slower than the Coopers one, although it was nice having a tap right at the bottom of the bucket, rather than About 10cm up like the Coopers one is. So from now on fermenting in the Coopers as I like the krausen ring and the tap for taking samples then syphon off into my new bottling bucket.

Hi
I fitted one of these recently to make a bottling bucket. I used a 25mm q-max cutter and then a bit of rolled up sandpaper to open up the hole a little so the tap fitted easier. The washer needs to go on the outside. It will leak if it is on the inside.

Cheers, saves me having to test the outside washer next time prior to using.
