At THBF we're always looking into ways of making brewing easier for our members. One subject that crops up time and time again, is the problem of not being able to get hold of a suitable 1/2" threaded bulk head fitting to modify a vessel (pan/pot/plastic bucket/conical fermenter/other) to take a ball valve/hop strainer/racking arm/blow off tube/other.
We're proud to announce that we've had some Stainless Steel Bulkhead Fittings 'custom made' here in the U.K. These fittings have many applications, including but not limited to:-
Fitting a ball valve to the outside of a boiler and a hop strainer to the inside.
Fitting a ball valve to the outside of a fermenter, and if wanted a racking arm to the inside.
Use as a blow off tube in conjunction with a male hose barb/cam lock/other.
Use as a bulk head for any other reason.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel they are supplied as a complete kit which consists of -
1 x Stainless Bulkhead Connector
1 x Sealing washer
1 x stainless washer
1 x ½â lock nut
To fit them you will need to drill/cut a 20 or 21mm hole in the pan/pot wall, then simply pass the fitting through from the inside with the sealing washer between the pan/pot wall and flange. Then from the outside slip the stainless washer over the nipple and screw the lock nut into place (see pic below). Tools required 22+30mm spanner/adjustable spanners.
Weâve had the SSBHF made so one side of the nipple is longer than the other, which means that it can be used with thicker walled vessels such as HDPE conical fermentors.
These fittings are 1/2" BSPP threaded and can be used with any 1/2" female BSPP fitting, ie, BES Ball Valves, 1 piece 16829, 2 piece 16835, 3 piece 10397.
All in all the complete bulkhead solution, and about time too!
Weâve only had a small batch made initially and these will be sold on a first come first serve basis. The price will be
1 = £26.10 2nd class recorded, we only send these items recorded delivery.
Each additional fitting up to 5 in total, cost at £22.40 each, plus above.
Insurance not included enquire if required.
