2" column to keg

Post by DangitBuck »

Hey everybody I have a quick question that hopefully is easy to answer. Would soldering a 2" ferrule to my column (seen here, http://www.hillbillystills.com/Copper_t ... _p/cs2.htm ) connect to a 15.5 gallon sanke keg with a tri-clamp? Or do I have to use the whole copper pipe to keg kit from mile-hi?
This is my first time working with a keg and I've looked around on the sight and can't find a page about keg connections, thanks for your time reading this post!

Search for easy flange. And everlasting PTFE gasket to go with the easy flange. :thumbup:

I'm going to use this "easy flange" method for the extension I'm going to make for my 3". It looks pretty clean.

I used the easy flange technique and everlasting PTFE gasket. Probably have a $1:25 in the whole thing and found it very easy to do.
