2" copper flared with triclamp to keg question

[bingo]

If I flare a piece of 2 inch copper will this work to connect to a keg with a triclamp? Thanks in advance.

Sure will mate. More a flange than a flare though.

Take a look at the "Easy Flange." http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27056

No problem with that method. Tried and Proven...

Heres a gasket to union it with...

I used Olddogs method to make the easy-flange....

I personally think the easy flange is to much work and prefer just a simple hammered flange.

+1 with a triclover seal (or home made one) they work great

drill a 50mm hole in some hard wood
anneal your pipe

work around the pipe slowly

once your here flatten it right out

and you done

i do the flange 1st so you can slide it back out....

good work, I've spent way too much time searching for flanges and adapters welding them on and etc...


thanks, thelegion

So true thelegion!, I too got sick of trying to sorce parts and thought stuff it I'll give it a go myself, it's so easy to do everyone should try it.

Very nice, thanks for the easy tutorial. Am I correct in saying that you Flanged the pipe out 1/4"? effectively making the flange 1/2" larger in diameter?

thanks

After annealing do you find that it work hardens enough that It will support its weight if used as a column?

Absolutely
