Burco tap problem

[flx3971]

Hi, any idea how I get a 1/2" 3 piece tap kit to fit a burco boiler which has a hole that measures 22mm? Thanks in advance

I wouldn't bother get the correct ball valve. I've changed two with valves bought from Powell Brewing.

I have, the tap is 1/2" or very close to 15mm, the appeture is 29mm so not gonna get a watertight fit that way.

I used something like this (not this precise item, so check the sizing).
The external thread goes into the hole in the Burco then the tap screws into the internal thread (1/2” bsp).
Try to get one in stainless steel if at all possible though, or use insulating washers because you don’t want to have brass and stainless in direct contact In the same system

Buy the right valve don't throw good money after bad.
