Anybody using these to divert the path of water and wort around the brew system? https://www.dudadiesel.com/search.php?query=+Yfilter I just bought three of them thinking that all three connection points were 1/2 inch NPT, and it turns out that the top portion with the threaded cap is actually a much larger opening. Is there a coupler or transition piece that can be used to connect that portion to a 1/2 inch NPT fitting? I was hoping to remove the filter screen and put a 1/2 inch ball valve on each end of the split. Thanks
If you want to stick with female connectors there are reducers that will do the job: https://www.amazon.com/Megairon-Red...ASQZ5E4XT93B&refRID=PPWX8ZQ4ASQZ5E4XT93B&th=1 My guess is you would want a male extension, there are nipples for that: https://www.amazon.com/Megairon-Thr...+stainless&qid=1553779230&s=industrial&sr=1-3
Thanks for this info. Unfortunately, it sounds like this won't work, as I reached out to the manufacturer with same question, and heard back that the capped thread is non-standard in order to prevent people from doing precisely what I'm trying to do. Pretty frustrating, as they bill this item as a fitting for brewing and didn't disclose that one out of three threaded portions was not actually 1/2 NPT. So I'll be returning them.
