I am in the process of upgrading my boiler using a 50 litre keg. I have cut the top off no probs and now considering options for fitting a tap.
I have got the compression fitting aspect covered pretty well. However I am also considering welding(will be getting a local shop to TIG weld it). My question is - is it preferable to weld a coupling to the keg so that i can screw in a nipple or whatever fitting for maximum flexibility? Or is it better to weld a toe nipple directly onto the keg for attaching the ball valve? Or does the question of complexity, and hence cost of the job come into play as well??
Cheers
