Outermark Esky as mash tun - Bung thread pitch?

[sp0rk]

Hi lads,
I'm FINALLY getting round to getting the pieces to finish my 3V rig
Just wondering if anyone who has converted a Outermark ice box from Bunnings (the blue ones) knows what the bung thread pitch is?
I've tried screwing a normal 1/2" BSP threaded pipe in it, but the threaded pipe seems to have too fine of a thread

For reference mine is a 48L

I've also noticed Bunnings have stopped selling these and now only stocks normal Eskys

Dammit Stu, I want someone else to solve my problems!
Guess I'll be heading to the hardware store on saturday

Believe it or not (it's not hard to), not a single shop in Scone or Muswellbrook stocks thread pitch gauges :/
Most people didn't even know what the **** I was on about, kept insisting I was thinking of feeler gauges
Guess I'll just take the bung around to all the fittings places and see if they have something to suit

I said "**** you, bunghole" to my bunghole when I set up my mash tun.

I drilled it out and inserted a piece of threaded pipe as a bulkhead, then Selleys 'Knead It Aqua'-ed it in place.

Lots easier and it's still fine to use as a normal Esky.
