weldless valve

Thu Aug 06, 2015 4:50 pm

I have a stainless brewpot....8-10 gallon... and I was thinking of installing a weldless valve from Northern Brewer or Morebeer. My pot isn't exceptionally thick. Does anybody have experience with these? Will my thin walled pot be a problem?

I use the original Boilmakers from Blichmann which are fairly thin walled - maybe 20 gauge. No issues with them, but at the same time you don't want the valve to be supporting weight either, regardless of the kettle.

I have used MoreBeer weldless valves and Brewers Hardware as well. The newer MoreBeer ones are pretty good but the Brewers Hardware ones kick ass. They are beefy and seal the first time everytime. I highly recommend them.
