Sourcing stainless deck drains

Post by dean_wales » Fri Sep 21, 2018 7:06 pm

Hello,

I need to buy half a dozen 1/2 BSP stainless deck drains... or a similar bulkhead that could be used for a bottom drain. Where is the cheapest place to get them? I can wait. Just really adds up.

Can't really see any on AliExpress or eBay, boating places are pricey and BrewBuilder only sells shortened versions and I need full length.

Interested in alternative DIY suggestions.

Cheers,
Dean.

Not remotely cheap

I think Angel Homebrew actually do a drain kit.

ebay? I searched "skin fitting"
Some of the entries give a choice of sizes if you open them, dunno if 1/2" BSP is in there. Sometimes it's easier to find 1/2" NPT stuff, which possibly wouldn't matter, I assume you don't need to attach it to any UK pipework.

As an alternative idea a reducing bush will do a similar job and should be cheaper: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2990849799
