I used a jigsaw, and threaded the nipples in, then sealed the gap with JB Weld (which added about $6 to the cost). I have a couple electrician buddies I could have borrowed one from, but that would have meant waiting through the weekend, and I wanted it done now.
Gotcha. I'll have to study the hardware a little more, I'm not familiar with most of it.
The nipples (3/4 right). Is there not a conduit nut or something that could go on the inside (of the barrel) and outside to keep it straight? I want to trick it out a little and add the black pipe on each that come straight up the drum with valves on top.
I've never seen those pipes anywhere, how do you get the length you want and have it threaded on each end?
