Feeling Stupid...

Hey Guys,

does anyone have pics of how they have attached their compression fittings to weldless, keggle conversions?

i'm new to plumbing, but it appears to me that i have left out an item from my ordering (a F/F 1/2 inch joiner piece?). This is what i have on the inside of my keggle wall: about an inch of exposed, 1/2 inch, s/s threaded nipple. this is secured (to ouitside) with a heavy-duty O-ring and s/s locking nut.

any suggestions as to how to attach my pick up tubes would be greatly appreciated.

they just sort of fit together in the compression fitting, you put the plastic or copper oring on the pick-up with the threaded bit and just screw the bitch on..

image is not mine, quich search on google images (mines much sexier)



[edit] the pic below is more like the one I have fitted only the one pictured is a bit more bling than mine



I hope this helps

Yob

But yes based on what your saying I think you need a F-F socket fitting to join the compression fitting to the bulk head

thanks guys,

there's no way i could force the compression fitting onto the bulkhead thread. it's far too small.

gonna order some socket fittings.

Exactly where he got his!

SS bulkhead 1/2" thread & standard pickup tube set from BeerBelly.
The pickup is bent SS with a plastic olive on it and a compression nut. No leaks and works a treat. I sometimes shove a SS scouring pad over the end of it if I feel inclined
