Connector identification question
Posted: Sun May 23, 2021 11:52 am
Hi guys. Boyfriend and I are in the process of building a 2 gallon ss thumper to complement 5 gallon ss pot still we already have. BF aquired the 5 gallon with the lid pre-fitted with port to accept tubing. My question is what is the actual name of the connectors shown in my pics? And also, is there rust accumulating at edge because there is another metal being used in there, like brass? I think I read on here somewhere that you need to "pickle" brass then work with it quickly before oxidation sets in? Is that what's happening to the underside piece?
