I had a blowout on my bucket last time I fermented in it, so I want to use a blowoff tube the next time to mitigate that, and this elbow looks like it will make that setup easy.

BEST ANSWER:Yes it will. The only difference between the regular and brewmaster edition of the 7g brew bucket is the addition of a thermowell and provided digital thermometer. The lids are identical.

BEST ANSWER:I have it hosed down to a 1L flask, cold crash as if it were a normal airlock. It shouldn't make a difference if it's on. That's how I do it, haven't noticed any issues.

This is a must have if you have the SS Brew Bucket. This makes it easier to manage possible overflow during early primary fermentation and it can also be used for closed pressure transfers into your kegs after fermentation is over. For $20 this is an easy and inexpensive upgrade..
Great product, although it's a pain to remove if you want to install a regular S Lock after primary is almost done. I usually switch to S Lock, so I can crash without sucking in liquid/air.
Works great, used 1/2” silicone blowoff for initial “heavy” yeast activity then switched an airlock attachment I made by threading a piece of the 1/2” silicone through a PVC elbow to add rigidity. A #4 silicone stopper fit inside to fit the airlock onto. Works great.
I dislike stoppers and bubbler type air locks for several reasons. This thing makes the brew bucket more compact and IMHO more stable with a range of fermentation. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I've seen folks on YouTube use this fitting to close transfer beer into a keg with co2 from the brew bucket.
I brewed three batches and kept each at the specific temperature steps with the FTSs during repeated heat waves during the month.
Each batch was perfect! And cleaning the brew Bucket is so easy!
I recommend adding the right angle fitting to use a blow-off tube during fermenting, then attached it to CO2 to transfer into a keg to minimize oxidation.
