Add a valve to your kettle in less than 5 minutes! 


This kit includes a 1/2" stainless bulkhead fitting, gaskets, 1/2" brass ball valve & hose barb.


All you need is a 7/8" holesaw, step drill, or dremel and cutoff disks.


The valve is full port 1/2" with teflon seats.


Thread on the inside is 1/2" FPT.


The gasket is Silicone and is rated for 450F


Bulkeads are constructed of 304 Stainless and brass, but the brass is mounted on the outside of the kettle and does not contact the wort.


Picture shows brass valve...we use only brass valves because they are as effective and simply less expensive than stainless. We save our customers money whenever we can by only selling those items which improve the brewing experience.


Only fermented wort needs to be stored and transferred using stainless equipment. Unfermented wort can contact brass and copper, as both are inert materials.
