copper caps

[kkbait]

I just ordered a new kettle from Mile Hi , the one with the 1"NPT fitting for a heating element and a 1/2 " NPT fitting for a thermometor.http://www.milehidistilling.com/8-gallo ... -fittings/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow Right now I'm gonna be using it with gas. I need caps for the fittings. Looked locally but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions on where I could find them thanks

I would suggest you use stainless plugs. They don't make copper ones like you need. Brass, black iron, and galvanized iron is about all you would find at a local hardware store. Brass would work if you want find stainless. Just look up pickleing brass.
Grainger or McMastercarr would have them.

thanks for the quick reply. I found them on McMaster Carr. Would I be better off with type 304 or type316 stainless?? thanks again

What's the price difference? If its a bunch go for the 304. If its not much difference go for the 316.

316 being the higher grade. But both will work fine.

ty the price difference is very small so I will go for the 316 thanks again
