Drain valve to connect keg

Postby Micky_ashman » Sat Feb 05, 2022 4:35 pm

G'day Guys and Girls

Doing a keg boiler and I'm stumped on the easy part. My keg I'll flip around attach a 4" Ferrule but trying to sort a simple drain with pipe and valve underneath with a 90degree bend so comes out side to connect to the 2" connected to the keg has got me rattled.

Anyone know something simple without connecting about 8 different parts at the bottom and over spending on stuff I don't need.
Sorry for the stupid question I know I'm missing a easy solution

A Triclamp bsp thread adaptor and then some screw thread elbows & piping would be a little cheaper than using all Triclamp fittings :think:

Or cut the ferrule out and put a threaded fitting in there, or just weld the whole pipe in...

Hi Micky,
Mate go to the shop and have a look at at a 2" triclamp to connect to the top of the keg thats inverted, then a 2" 90 degree bend to go to a triclamp mounted valve for the waste.

I'm sure the shop has everything you need

Cheers guys the BSP connection was it.

Tried getting on store but couldn't search anything. Think it's my phone time for an upgrade
