Hi!
My DIY skills extend to painting and minor woodwork and my home brewing skills extend to kits and the odd hop addition. I'm not the best person to build a DIY all-grain set-up but I'm up for the challenge!
I'm trying to build the plumbing for a cool box mash tun and, despite the help on here and all the videos, I don't seem to be able to match up what I see online with what's on my living room floor right now. All this talk of tank connectors etc but I can't see how they fit into the system.

This is what I have now. The only way I can see to fit the tap is by screwing the copper pipe, olive, and nut together but not sure how to secure it to the inside off the cool box. I have a tank connector, but the only thread I have is on the ball valve so there's nothing obvious to screw the tank connector on to?!? It's 1/2 inch to 15mm.
Would appreciate any help from those with some experience of this and laymans terms if possible please!
