Boiler - Weldless Element

Postby Maritsio2016 » Sun Jul 24, 2016 11:53 pm

Hey guys sorry bout the dumb questions but i really can't find the answer. My next step is to upgrade boiler to accommodate the awesome stuff on top but i can't weld and can get my grubby hands on some kegs but cant see how once the spigot is removed how in the hell after you drill a hole to accommodate the element do you hold a washer and nut in place on the inside of the keg? it's doing my small brain in. I want a Mac milk can but my pregnant wife wants a bigger house. any help is greatly appreciated.

You pull the element through the keg backwards and do the nut up from the outside :handgestures-thumbupleft:
