Questions & Answers

You’ll need a 7/8" to 1" diameter hole (about 22–25 mm) in the kettle wall to comfortably fit the 1/2" NPT weldless bulkhead and its silicone O-ring.

Each pack includes two complete weldless bulkhead assemblies: stainless steel body, locknut, washer(s), and high-temperature silicone O-ring for each fitting.

Yes. The included silicone O-ring is food-grade and rated for typical brewing and distilling temperatures, including boiling wort and hot sparge water.
