How do you mount this? Gasket on the outside I assume, what about the washer, does that go inside?

Brian S on Jun 16, 2020

BEST ANSWER: From the manufacturer's installation instructions: Unscrew (and remove everything...) Insert the larger threaded side of the bulkhead through the hole in your kettle from the outside.
Replace the Red Gasket, then the Stainless Washer, and then thread the Lock Nut back on using wrenches or channel locks to tighten until snug. Summary: from inside of kettle to outside it's nut/washer/gasket/kettle-wall/bulkhead.

Have two of these on one of my kettles. Red silicone washer goes on the inside of kettle. I used the provided washer on the inside as well with a little keg lube so it doesn't misshape the gasket. Take it apart and clean it every few brews and replace the red gasket after a year regardless. So far , haven't had any leaks installing it that way. Good fitting in my opinion.👍

I install them in this order from the inside. Locknut-steel washer-rubber washer-kettle wall-outer threaded flange nut. No issues with leaks if your hole is the correct diameter.

Throw the washer away. It will leak if you use it. I believe I put the seal on the inside. Could not get it to stop leaking while using the washer.

Gasket and washer inside, keep stuff out of hard to clean hole and use Teflon plumber tape to seal threads

Vote for the best answer above!

If the threaded male end of this bulkhead is 1/2", why does the hole need to be 1"?

Ray J on Sep 5, 2024

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The threaded male end is 3/4" pipe thread which measures 1" in diameter. It is designed so a 1/2" pipe thread fitting can thread inside of it or a 3/4" pipe thread piece can thread over the outside of it.

How long is the shank?

Adam P on Jan 31, 2021

BEST ANSWER: The shank is pretty short. I don't have an exact measurement, but it fits in my kettle with barely any threading exposed after the lock nut. My Kettle wall is 1.4mm thick. I'd say the usable length of the shank is something close to 1.75-2mm.
