PeterW Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Does anyone have a 1/2" NPT tap that I could borrow, or I would be prepared to tap a hole in a brass blanking plate ..? I want to mount a 1/2 NPT threaded thermowell into a brass immersion blanking plug and I thought I had one but it's 3/8th so wondered if anyone had one lying about ..?

Onoff Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 1/2" BSP nearest I've got. With one of these: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSP-NPT-Adapters-Male-BSPT-to-Female-NPT-Exten-in-Brass-European-to-American-/121411882514?var=&hash=item1c44b64e12%3Am%3Amadw2aTuT3ZCop4kFBQmWeA&_trkparms=pageci%3A60c2cf79-284a-11e7-b054-74dbd180f678%7Cparentrq%3A9bdc4b4315b0abd99d17ff0effff4e04%7Ciid%3A11&varId=420348982949 ?

PeterW Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Have just realised plan B is more effective and leaves the immersion operational if needed .... Will make a dip tube from the top of the tank through the hot water draw off with a 22/10 reducer ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I had a look earlier, but 1/4" BSP or 1/2" BSF were the closest I had - not much use really! Edited April 23, 2017 by JSHarris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks both - getting the solder and the gas torch out I think is the answer ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
