Its the input side of spear. The output is still just open until i can get some more fittings. I plan to do what you have done.

Ah now I get you! I read and re-read what you wrote and I couldn't get it. Lol

So yeah, you were talking about the input side.

Yep, sounds like we had the same idea basically, you can see the basic configuration in the photo. In my build thread Twisted mentioned matching your steam wand output to your drill/mixer direction so you're mixing with both in the same direction. I'm still planning on doing it once I have the misses all set up with rum for the next year.

I do like that idea with the 45s Rusty.

But, get your priorities right and you'll have an easier life.
Get plenty of that Backyardi made and then make some more!
