johnno said:Hi all,
I'm getting to the stage of taking my kettle in to have a hole drilled for the tap.
Whats the best way of doing this? Like what shall I use to stop the leaking? SS washer and nut? I realise some brewers have welded theirs but I dont really want to go this way. I also have an aluminium kettle so i dont think its possible?
Suggestions and help required.

I suggest (assuming you aren't going all stainless):
- two fibre washers (bunnings)
- two hex/flange brass nuts (bunnings)
- two SS 21mm flat washers (cost less bolts ringwood).
Bring it to my joint and we can have it drilled in no time. I have a flaring tool, pipe bending spring and probably have the flare fittings to go with it.
cheers
