These innovative products are the highest quality available. All you need is a 7/8" drill bit. "Why pay a welder?" BrewLogic's entry level Gott/ Rubbermaid fitting is anything but basic. The stainless steel bulkhead fitting provides a watertight seal, and a 1/2" NPT port for attaching a quick disconnect fitting or 1/2" NPT barb on the outside of the cooler, or a 12" Boil Screen or 1/2" NPT barb on the inside of the kettle. The attached ball valve is brass.
The ball valve works great; it fit the Rubbermaid cooler I purchased from this site perfectly. Make sure you use two 7/8" washers on the inside of the cooler. My coolers leaked at the ball valve during my first brew, but I stopped the leak by adding the extra washer. Very cost effective way to go all-grain.

Easy to attach
I have a rubbermaid cooler and this took little effort to attach. Use some Teflon tape and maybe another washer and you wont have leaks.

Easy instillation on a rubbermaid cooler
I recommend adding Teflon tape to the threads on the outside of the cooler. I had a small leak, but once I added more Teflon tape it stopped leaking. Overall it works fine.
