Keggle Build Help: What Am I Missing?

[bluenose]

Ok, so I got hooked up with some stuff from Mr. X and bought some other stuff myself. What you don't see in this picture that I also have is a keg, a 1/2" nipple, and some electrical box nuts. The guy at Wolsley told me these would work to tighten all the pieces together, but I'm not sure and would appreciate some input.

My plan is to put together a keggle I can use with propane and then convert it over to electric once I get a place inside that I can use.

Any and all thoughts, ideas, and comments are welcome.

You're going to need a bulkhead of some sort. You can go welded, and in that case it would just be a 1/2" coupling, or you can go weldless, and use something like this. It's what you need to bridge the gap between the valve and the diptube

I wouldn't use those box nuts on the inside. The 1/2" compression fitting goes on the inside, pulled liquid-tight to the keg wall. The gasket material you have makes the seal. Double or triple it if you need to. The box nut will pull it tight on the outside. Then screw on the ball valve, being careful not to start rotating the nipple.

cool, so I guess all I need to do it start modifying the keg
