Stainless in Hfx
I got the 1/2"x1/2" fittings from Purity Stainless in Dartmouth (Woodside).
$9/fitting Tax in.
Derek has worked with Nash, Propeller, Garrison and lots of wineries.
They can source parts and cut and fabricate as needed.
It cost about a dollar more than ordering and no shipping.
If you need stainless parts and dont have a guy with a scrap yard call them and ask. 468-5598 tell them your a BrewNoser.

I had him make some bevel seat to Tri-clamp adapters for me. He can make or get anything stainless, just a little eccentric!

Sandy.. what fittings did you get made? I feel like I have a case of the stupids for not getting it. Perhaps the 1/2" barb?

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Stainless in Hfx
The MPT valve Teflon fits the pump. the .5-.5 out of the valve will go to hose. Or something like that.

Re: Stainless in Hfx
Why did you put a valve on each side of the pump? Typically you want to restrict the outflow of the pump, not the inflow.

The BPT andMPT fittings did not work well but the valves did. I don't know why.Fishdisease wrote:Why did you put a valve on each side of the pump? Typically you want to restrict the outflow of the pump, not the inflow.
