Hello all,
I've made a miscalculation and oversized the hole in the blue water butt pictured here:
I'm really annoyed at myself for rushing this little job but I can't rewind.
As you can see the washer and thread sit neatly inside the hole I've made.
To add more complication and the reason I'm using copper fittings and not plastic is because there is almost no space and so the tanks have to sit right up against one another.
Here is a photo of the other tank:
As you can see everything is in 22mm size. The green tank actually has a thread built-in so up-sizing that is not really an option. I would get a reducer but that would require some 28mm pipe which I would need to buy. This 22mm section was bought on eBay to avoid having to buy a full 2 or 3 meter length. I was hoping to sort this job today.
Could I use a washer with an oversized flange ? Where would I get something like this? Can't see an obvious solution.
Again, I'm really annoyed at myself but can't rewind.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
Thank you
