Is it for total drainage or collecting smaller volumes of dunder/backset ?
Consider a semi flexible braided hose on the drain. Gravity will push up to the liquid height in the boiler meaning you could effectively drain "uphill" for smaller volumes, then lower the hose to connect into a drain hose perhaps.

Looks a little too tall.
How stable will it be when you have a column a neutralizer on and the PC off one side? :think: I'm planning to put an outrigger off my shed column to help support the top of the still especially when the packed section is on. Also a slight angle on my legs will help. I recon I'll also get rid of one leg and go back oto 3.
Maybe shorter and thicker legs, run partially up the side of the keg?
Is it going to be gas or electric? Electric
Will you have a drain out the bottom or side? Out the bottom.
That will make a difference as to the placement and bracing of the legs as well.
Thicker legs run 20% up the keg..... no need to brace
Bigger feet = more stability they are 100mm diameter at the minute but could go bigger
Just my thoughts....
Love the shape and style of your copper work btw :handgestures-thumbupleft:
This build is looking so good/upmarket, it shouldn't be called a duck.... it should be a pheasant :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Pheasant under glass? :D :D :D i like it :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

You could have a quick connect welded to the bottom centre of the boiler and just hook up and let her rip. Mine does 19l per min :handgestures-thumbupleft: and just have two lengths of hose, one for backset you want to keep one for waste.
Just my thoughts but i think you can avoid going to all this design effort to get a bucket under a tap that isn't going to completely empty the boiler anyway
