"True Weldless Bulkhead"...Opinions?

Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews · Jan 26, 2020

Has anybody here tried these?

They look like a good design to me, would like to upgrade my existing bulkheads to something without any "wiggle", always wondering when the ones I have are going to start leaking, took about 4 tries to get them to seal in the first place.

Figured I'd look into upgrading some fittings as long as I'm redesigning my system(could take longer than I originally planned, but I know where I'm going with it and that big bag of Avantgard I just bought can wait until the system is right).

They work great and brewhardware makes and sells top notch stuff.

I’ve had one for my HLT and it’s done almost 50 brews to date and not a hint of a leak. Get yourself a good step bit drill bit and put a dab of dawn/dish soap on where you’ll be drilling (use a center punch to keep the bit in place when starting), the soap will keep the bit cool while cutting.

I agree with @thunderwagn that you want to get top notch parts.

here’s a couple pics of my HLT with the weldless bulkhead.
